A series of weather fronts tracking across the AK Panhandle Sunday through Tuesday have the potential to produce impactful snow accumulations for the Haines and Klondike Highways.

Other locations closer to sea level will start as mainly rain Sunday with some mix of snow and rain Monday night into Tuesday. For the Haines Highway, snow will fall
