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. Highest probability for accumulating snow will be Sunday and Monday nights. Varying snow levels between sea level and 3000 feet with each advancing front will cause precipitation type to shift from rain to snow and back again resulting in uncertainty in snow totals. 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 mainly from mile post 16 to the border. 12-hour snow amounts of 2 to 4 inches for Sunday night through Tuesday morning are possible. Along the Klondike Highway, snow will fall mainly from mile post 8 to White Pass. 12-hour snow amounts of 1 to 5 inches for Sunday night through Tuesday morning are possible. Travel through these areas during these times could be difficult. $$
