URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
549 AM AKST Sat Feb 28 2026

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

Snowfall has increased in intensity and coverage overnight as a
low tracks eastward across the Gulf towards the central panhandle.
An estimated 2 to 4 inches has fallen overnight, these
accumulations are separate from the next system set to affect the
area through Saturday. Steady snowfall will continue through
Saturday morning with rates increasing through the afternoon.
Heaviest snowfall rates are expected to start by mid day along the
coast, spreading eastward towards Hyder through Saturday night.

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.
