This hazardous weather outlook is for Southeast Alaska coastal
waters from Dixon Entrance to Cape Suckling out 100 nm

night will drive a larger southwest swell into the eastern Gulf.
This swell will arrive late Wednesday night in the 20 ft range.

Friday. Mariners should plan on these heavy seas to affect
operations this week and stay tuned to the latest forecasts

NWS Winter Storm Watch
Statement as of 4:22 PM AKDT on March 10, 2009
...Winter Storm Watch in effect from late Wednesday night through
Thursday morning...
The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a Winter Storm
Watch...which is in effect from late Wednesday night through
Thursday morning.
Heavy snow will likely fall over a majority of the northern and
central Panhandle Wednesday night through Thursday morning. Storm
totals for this system range from 5 to 7 inches during this time.
A low developing tonight over the northern Pacific will tap into a
tropical moisture source and track north across the central Gulf
through Thursday afternoon. The associated front will spread
warmer air across the Panhandle and eventually change the snow to
rain. Storm totals for most locations within the Winter Storm
Watch area are only averaging around 6 inches. However...this
snowfall is expected to be very heavy and wet and will be
difficult to manage due to high water content.
A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of
winter storm conditions in and close to the watch area.
Preparation for this hazardous weather event should begin now.
This statement will be updated by 500 am akdt Wed or sooner if
conditions warrant.
