A strong system is expected to move through the area Monday.
Temperatures below freezing combined with snow levels below 1,000 ft
are indicative of snowfall for upper elevations. Mid-level
southeasterly flow suggests potential for White Pass to be sheltered
from much of the precipitation, but would allow for ample moisture to
make it into the Haines Borough, falling as snow at the border along
the Haines Highway.
* WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 12
inches possible.
* WHERE...The Haines Highway, near Haines Border Crossing.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM Akst this evening.
* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The upper elevations of the Haines Highway,
near Haines Customs. Snow levels will steadily increase from around
500 ft to 2000 ft by Monday evening.
If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your
vehicle in case of an emergency. For the latest road conditions where
available call 511 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
