Winter Storm Warning
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
409 AM AKST Thu Feb 19 2026
...ACCUMULATING SNOW ACROSS THE PANHANDLE TO END THE WEEK...
.A front moving across the gulf and developing low across the
northern coast will bring snow showers to the panhandle beginning
late Wednesday night. With stable cold dry continental air in
place ahead of this system, precipitation is expected to remain
snow throughout the event with high snow ratios. The initial
frontal wave will push eastward into the panhandle with the
northeast gulf coast seeing showers late tonight and highest snow
accumulations expected along the outer coast with orographic
enhancement. For most areas, snow is expected to be light and
fluffy in nature due to cold temperatures both aloft and down to
the surface.
