Description: 
Snow showers continue across the panhandle with a chance for heavier showers to return to central and southern portions of SE AK Wednesday and Thursday. Confidence is higher with the timing of these heavier showers, but confidence remains low with snow totals. Snow amounts over 24 hours are most likely to remain around 2 to 4 inches with a low chance of snow around or above 6 to 8 inches. We will continue to monitor both the snow showers that are occurring now, and the ones expected for mid week. Showers then look to weaken at the end of the work week.
