URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
958 PM AKST Fri Feb 27 2026

...CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE SNOW SATURDAY WITH POTENTIAL
FOR MORE SNOW SUNDAY...

.Light scattered to numerous snow showers will pass over the
region Friday night with accumulations of up to 2 inches. Through
Saturday morning, a low will track across the central gulf and
bring steady accumulating snow to the area with rates increasing
through the afternoon.

As the low center tracks eastward through Saturday afternoon and
evening, south to southwest wind will cause temperatures to warm
over the southern outer coast with a mix or change to rain. Snow
will then end on the NW side of the low, from Sitka to Juneau
northward. Moisture will decrease overnight Saturday across the
south, but then redevelop on Sunday as another system moves in.
The rain/snow line will likely hover in vicinity of Sumner Strait
Sunday into Monday with potential additional heavy snow for the
Petersburg and Wrangell areas and lighter snow northward. A
separate low pressure system looks to affect the region on
Tuesday with potential for snow to push northward again.
