Dense, wet snow will make up a majority of the accumulating snow, with latest guidance further lowering snow ratios Thursday night into Friday morning. Snow levels will then continue to drop throughout the day Friday and increase snow ratios again, allowing for more accumulation through the day Friday.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest snowfall rates are expected through Thursday evening with potential for up to 1 inch per hour rates for short period near White Pass. Main concern will be long duration rates around 0.25 to 0.50 inch per hour expected to continue through Friday for the upper elevations of the Klondike Highway. Southerly winds intensify Thursday evening and last into Friday evening, bringing the potential for some drifting snow near White Pass with wind gusts up to 30 mph limiting visibilities.
