NWS Special Statement Statement as of 7:39 PM AKST on November 19, 2013 ...Potential for heavy snow and rain event beginning Wednesday night... A weather front will move into the region starting Wednesday night with significant warm moist air moving up from the south. With the cold Arctic air currently in place over the Panhandle there is the potential for an over running snow event which could produce heavy snow amounts. Temperatures will show significant rises Thursday through Friday with snow changing to rain or a rain snow mix as wind flow shifts to the south. The rain and snow may cause difficult travel conditions. In addition to the heavy precipitation strong winds will develop with the advancing front especially along the outer coast on Friday. Some impacts will be the snow becoming heavy and wet on Friday as the precipitation switches to rain. Be alert to the thawing conditions...and if the rain is heavy enough combined with wind steeper slopes could have mud or land slides. Boaters are advised that snow and rain could require bailing or snow removal. Be alert to loading on the wings of parked aircraft. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1935: Light Fine Snow, Cloudy, mainland partially obscured at the least. 1850: Extremely Light Snow, Cloudy. 1800: Trace of Precipitation and Trace of Snowfall to this point today. 1750: Very light very fine snow, cloudy. 1732: Very light very fine snow, cloudy. 1650: Extremely Light Snow, Cloudy, mainland very slightly to partially obscured. 1620: Very, very light snow, cloudy, mainland slightly to partially obscured. 1550: Cloudy, very, very light snow to snow over much of the mainland. 1450: Cloudy, very, very light to light snow over much of the mainland. 1416: Cloudy. 1350: Cloudy, a few very slight hints of blue, very light snow to snow over parts of the mainland. 1308: Cloudy, very light snow over parts of the mainland. 1250: Cloudy. 1150: Cloudy with some filtered to heavily filtered blue. 1130: Cloudy, a few small breaks to the NNW and a few hints of blue, light to breezy wind. 1050: Cloudy, some hints of blue, light wind. 1005: Cloudy, a bit of blue to the NNE and hints of blue overhead, occasional gusts. 0950: Cloudy, light wind with occasional gusts. 0935: Cloudy. 0920: Light Wind. 0900: Cloudy, a few breaks, blue sky far to the NW. 0835: Cloudy/Mostly Cloudy. 0825: Light Wind. 0750: Partly Cloudy with very thin to thinnish clouds. 0650: Mostly Clear, light wind with occasional gusts. 0620: Mostly Clear, occasional gusts of wind. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0504 AST: NWS: Potential for heavy snow and rain event beginning Wednesday night.
