Special Weather Statement , Alaska | Effective 03/25/2026 17:17

A series of low pressure systems will approach the southern panhandle through the end of the work week and into the weekend, with multiple fronts/troughs lifting north through the region. Multiple rounds of snow showers or rain/snow mix are expected for Annette Island, Ketchikan, Prince of Wales Island and Port Alexander. Heavier showers could reduce visibility down to 1/2 mile or less, with snowfall rates as high as 1 inch per hour. One to three inches of snow is possible during the nighttime and early morning hours, as air and surface temperatures hover near to below freezing. Due to the showery nature of the snow, accumulations will be highly variable across the area with expected periods of melting in sunny breaks. Snow showers should diminish through the weekend as surface ridging builds into southeast Alaska. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates at weather.gov/juneau.
