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.
