HIGH WIND, BLOWING SNOW, AND LOW WIND CHILLS FOR SKAGWAY AND KLONDIKE HIGHWAY TODAY AND TONIGHT... ...HEAVY SNOW FROM PELICAN TO JUNEAU FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY... .A heavy band of snow from a stationary front looks to set up from Pelican to Juneau for Sunday night through Monday. Resilient cold air from the north is expected to remain in place through much of the event, keeping precipitation as snow.
