Special Weather Statement issued December 18 at 3:23PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
Effective: Thu December 18, 2025, 3:23 PM
Expires: Fri December 19, 2025, 1:00 PM
Through the weekend and early next week, cold arctic air will return to the Panhandle. Low temperatures in the central panhandle and NE Gulf Coast are expected to drop into the single digits above zero for many communities, with wind sheltered areas likely dropping to single digits below zero. Southern panhandle locations will likely see single digits above zero to teens for low temperatures with the coldest temperatures in wind sheltered areas. Current forecast reflects the cold temperatures arriving to the central panhandle by Friday and to southern areas by the weekend. The coldest weather is expected Saturday night into early next week. These cold air temperatures, combined with gusty outflow winds, could bring dangerous wind chill values as well. Frostbite and hypothermia are possible if exposed to these temperatures for extended periods of time. Of particular concern are the elderly, along with those without adequate shelter. Make preparations now. Prepare vessels and homes for cold weather through the week.
