NWS Special Weather Statement 346 PM ADT Thu Mar 20 2008 ...Heavy snow possible over the weekend... A complex low pressure system is forecast to move into the eastern Gulf this weekend.

Some snow is also likely for coastal and central Southeast Alaska but this is expected to mix with rain from time to time and limit overall accumulations. Persons traveling across the northern Panhandle or venturing into the mountains should be prepared for winter conditions.
