URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Juneau AK 941 PM AKDT Wed Mar 18 2026 ...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK... .Snow showers from the Gulf of Alaska will continue through Friday morning at least. Snowfall accumulations of 6 to 14 inches are expected through Friday, with some locally higher amounts possible. A steadier band of snow has set up near Juneau this evening, with 1 inch per hour snowfall rates. A short fused Winter Storm Warning has been issued for Juneau through Wednesday night. A more organized area of showers is expected to impact the NE gulf coast on Thursday bringing more intense snow falls which has prompted the addition of winter storm warnings for Yakutat and Pelican. However, accumulations will be limited during the daytime due to warmer temperatures as we are now into the latter half of March. In addition, snowfall accumulations will be widely variable across the area due to the hit or miss nature of the showers, however rates as high as 1 inch per hour and visibilities down to 1/2 mile or less will be possible within any heavier showers that repeatedly move over the same location. Advisories could be upgraded to short-fuse Winter Storm Warnings if heavier snow showers continue over the same area. A relative lull in the heaviest showers is likely for some areas on Friday, but more snow may sweep into the panhandle for the weekend.
