Special Weather Statement issued March 5 at 2:57PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

Effective: Thu March 5, 2026, 2:57 PM
Expires: Fri March 6, 2026, 3:00 AM

After the waves of snow which have been moving through SE AK the past few weeks, warming temperatures are bringing a changeover to rain for the area. Snow levels will reach between 2k to 4k feet on Friday across the Icy Strait Corridor, and climb above 7k feet for the southern panhandle. A gale force front moving through the area on Friday will bring with it widespread rainfall of between 0.5 to 1.5 inches, although no flooding is expected. Active weather will then continue on Saturday as a low pressure system starts to make its way into the northern gulf. This low will bring southwesterly strong gale force winds into the southern gulf, eventually pushing into the central and southern panhandle. This will bring windy conditions inland as well, with the strongest winds along the gulf coast. A cool down occurs over the weekend, with another wave of moisture racing across the Gulf and into the panhandle on Saturday. By Saturday night, snow showers will be in abundance throughout the region, and will continue into early next week, resulting in variable snow accumulations.

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.
