UPDATE

The low approaching the southern panhandle this morning has caused winds in the northern inner channels to flip to a northerly direction. Lynn Canal, Glacier Bay, and Taku Inlet have all shown the northerly flip with the southern extent of those northerly winds reaching Icy Strait for Lynn Canal and Glacier Bay, and Grave Point for the north winds out of Taku Inlet. South of those areas SE to S winds still prevail though at a reduced strength then expected for Stephens Passage and Chatham Strait. These north winds in the north inner channels will likely persist into the afternoon before flipping south again as the incoming low passes through the area and into the Yukon early this evening. The north winds have also cooled temperatures on the Haines Highway to the point that snow is being observed down to the Haines Airport today with some accumulation northwest of Klukwan. A mix of rain and snow will likely be seen on the Haines highway into this evening at least with up to possibly 2 inches of snow accumulation northwest of Klukwan.
