Winter Storm Warning

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
105 PM AKDT Wed Mar 18 2026

...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK...

.Snow showers from the Gulf of Alaska will continue through
Friday morning at least. Snowfall accumulations of 7 to 16 inches
are expected through Friday, with some locally higher amounts
possible. A more organized area of showers is expected to impact
the NE gulf coast on Thursday bringing more intense snow falls which
has prompted the addition of winter storm warnings for Yakutat
and Pelican. However, accumulations will be limited during the
daytime due to warmer temperatures as we are now into the latter
half of March. In addition, snowfall accumulations will be widely
variable across the area due to the hit or miss nature of the
showers, however rates as high as 1 inch per hour and visibilities
down to 1/2 mile or less will be possible within any heavier
showers that repeatedly move over the same location. Advisories
could be upgraded to short-fuse Winter Storm Warnings if heavier
snow showers continue over the same area. A relative lull in the
heaviest showers is likely for some areas on Friday, but more snow
may sweep into the panhandle for the weekend.

Winter Weather Advisory

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
105 PM AKDT Wed Mar 18 2026

...HIT OR MISS SNOW SHOWERS CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEK...

.Snow showers from the Gulf of Alaska will continue through
Friday morning at least. Snowfall accumulations of 7 to 16 inches
are expected through Friday, with some locally higher amounts
possible. A more organized area of showers is expected to impact
the NE gulf coast on Thursday bringing more intense snow falls which
has prompted the addition of winter storm warnings for Yakutat
and Pelican. However, accumulations will be limited during the
daytime due to warmer temperatures as we are now into the latter
half of March. In addition, snowfall accumulations will be widely
variable across the area due to the hit or miss nature of the
showers, however rates as high as 1 inch per hour and visibilities
down to 1/2 mile or less will be possible within any heavier
showers that repeatedly move over the same location. Advisories
could be upgraded to short-fuse Winter Storm Warnings if heavier
snow showers continue over the same area. A relative lull in the
heaviest showers is likely for some areas on Friday, but more snow
may sweep into the panhandle for the weekend.
