Special Weather Statement issued February 25 at 5:35PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

Effective: Wed February 25, 2026, 5:35 PM
Expires: Thu February 26, 2026, 3:00 PM

After the currently ongoing snow showers depart the area, there is increasing potential for more significant accumulating snow to impact the area starting Saturday and going through the start of next work-week. Currently, deep layer of cold air looks to become entrenched over the Inner Channels while appreciable moisture is expected to move onshore from the Gulf of Alaska starting this weekend, giving an overrunning event. The highest confidence for snowfall looks to be around the central Panhandle from Wrangell and Petersburg up to the Icy Strait Corridor, including Juneau. There is some disagreement on the exact location of the heaviest snowfall, which could shift what communities see the greatest accumulations. Part of this will depend on where the cold air sets up across the Inner Channels. Places that stay south of the colder air will see more rain than snow for precip accumulations.
