Special Weather Statement issued February 27 at 2:23PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
As a storm force low moves into the gulf it will steer moisture and wind back into the Panhandle. While surface temperatures along the Haines Highway remain above freezing, and snow levels are near 1500ft, there is potential to see 2 to 4 inches of snow Friday morning out the road near the Chilkat River Bridge west towards the border. Snowfall will be directly tied to precipitation rates, where these heavy rates have the ability to drop snow levels down to the surface for a few hours. If we do not get heavy rates, out the road remains all rain
