Special Weather Statement issued February 22 at 2:03PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

Effective: Sun February 22, 2026, 2:03 PM
Expires: Mon February 23, 2026, 12:00 PM

A pattern change begins Tuesday as clear and cold conditions give way to accumulating snow for the panhandle by the middle of the week as a system moves in from the northern Gulf. Current expectation is snow will be slow to accumulate, with this event proving to be longer in duration with forecast accumulations around 4 to 8 inches of snow starting Tuesday through Thursday. Highest snowfall totals will be for areas north of Sumner Strait, though a brief period of warming conditions late Tuesday will see some areas of the central panhandle change over to rain briefly, before cooler air returns through Wednesday. Thursday will see snow showers become increasingly predominant, with highly variable snow accumulations expected as the low moves south. Stay tuned for latest forecast updates at weather.gov/juneau

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
