Heavy Snow in Cape Fairweather To Cape Suckling Coastal Area, Alaska

Yakutat ASOS had a period of heavy snow on the evening of the 25th followed by freezing rain and rain for a short time. Overnight the rain changed back to heavy snow with spotters reporting 8 to 10 inches of accumulation by morning. Light to moderate snow continued through the daytime on the 26th with a few more inches of accumulation. This event was on top of 5.8 inches falling the previous day, which made it more impactful.

A front associated with a low tracking up from the north Pacific caused very heavy snowfall rates over the northern panhandle. This was the continuation of multiple days worth of snow from separate events.
