The National Weather Service is forecasting snow for the central and northern panhandle on Friday and Saturday, but that's likely to turn to rain.
It’s been a cold start to the week in Southeast Alaska. Low temperatures in the teens and single digits broke daily records across the panhandle, from Haines to Sitka to Ketchikan, Metlakatla and Prince of Wales Island.
That front is expected to bring some heavy snow to the southern panhandle. Six to eight inches are expected in Ketchikan starting Thursday afternoon. The central and northern panhandle are expected to see snow Friday into Saturday. He says forecasters are expecting snow to turn to rain a little later over the central panhandle. Northern panhandle communities might see continued snowfall even with rising temperatures.
Snowy weather always has the potential to disrupt flights, but Juneau International Airport Manager Patty Wahto says her crews are ready. It’s a similar story in Ketchikan. Airport manager Alex Peura says his crews are ready for the snow. The parking lots closest to the airport on Gravina Island are expected to fill up with holiday travelers. But he says there should be plenty of parking at the airport’s recently-expanded Revilla Island lot.
