Winter Storm Warning issued February 12 at 1:23PM AKST until February 14 at 9:00PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

…SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE…

An active pattern returns to the southeast Alaska panhandle as a
approaching system will push into the Northern Gulf of Alaska
through Friday. We are expecting impactful snow accumulations,
with snowfall rates up to 1 inch per hour, for the City and
Borough of Yakutat starting Thursday night through Friday
afternoon. Main forecast challenge remains on where heaviest axis
of snow will setup along the coast. If the main band of heavier
precip shifts west, forecasted snowfall totals will be severely
impacted and much lower.

* WHAT…Heavy snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 12
inches. Winds gusting as high as 40 mph.

* WHERE…City and Borough of Yakutat.

* WHEN…From 9 PM Thursday to 9 PM AKST Friday.

* IMPACTS…Travel will be very difficult.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…Heaviest snowfall should arrive late
Thursday night, diminishing through late Friday afternoon.
Heaviest snowfall rates approaching 1 inch per hour expected
early Friday morning.
