CNN —Five people have been reported missing from a fishing boat that capsized in rough waters off the coast of southeastern Alaska, officials said.
The US Coast Guard received a mayday call at 12:10 a.m. Sunday from the crew aboard the 50-foot-long vessel, saying it was overturning, the guard said in a news release.
The Coast Guard asked for additional information but received no response, the release said.
The ferry vessel AMHS Hubbard overheard an urgent broadcast from the Coast Guard and arrived on the scene first, officials said.
Temperatures will warm above freezing on Monday so the heavy snowfall will transition to a rain and snow mix before becoming all rainfall by Tuesday.
