Full Notification

A strong system is expected to move through the area Sunday night into 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, putting them on the lower end of the range. A band of precipitation looks to set up across the Fairweather and Chilkat mountain ranges, increasing the likelihood of the Haines Highway seeing periods of heavy snowfall on Monday.
