URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE...UPDATED
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1235 AM AKDT Sun Mar 22 2026

...NUMEROUS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT, SECOND
ROUND OF SNOW EXPECTED FOR THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...

.A band of snow is moving northward through the panhandle, with
light to moderate snow ongoing at Skagway and Yakutat. This band
will continue to move northward out of the area through early
Sunday morning. In its wake, the hit or miss snow showers we have
seen the previous week will return along the back side of this
front with periods of light to moderate snow expected, the winter
weather advisories have been extended through Sunday morning for
the northern panhandle. Snow will gradually end across the
northern panhandle through Sunday afternoon with longer duration
advisories continuing for portions of the far southern panhandle.
Snowfall accumulations will be variable across the area due to the
hit or miss nature of these showers. Rates as high as 1 inch per
hour and visibilities down to 1 mile or less will be possible
within any heavier showers that repeatedly move over the same
location.

For the southern panhandle communities, temperatures are expected
to start cooling through Sunday with bands of snow moving through
the southern and central panhandle by the afternoon into Sunday
night, prompting the longer duration Winter Weather Advisory.
Accumulations in the south will be the highest on the higher
elevations of Prince of Wales Island midday Sunday, but more
accumulations expected at sea level by Sunday evening and night as
temperatures cool through Sunday evening.
