URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
532 PM AKST Sun Mar 1 2026

...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY WEEK...

The active weather pattern continues with split flow developing
as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with
cold strong northerly outflow winds across the northern inner
channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern
panhandle. Portions of the central and southern panhandle will
see moderate to heavy snowfall through Sunday evening as another
surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain
snow mix is expected through Monday morning for the southern
panhandle up to Sumner Strait. Main forecast challenge is
potential for temperatures to warm up quicker than expected
through Sunday night and into Monday morning with the front
moving further north, limiting snowfall accumulations.

Another system will bring more accumulating snow to the panhandle
Monday night into Tuesday night. The track of this follow up
feature could lead to significant swings in snow accumulations
from Frederick Sound northward to the Icy Strait corridor.
