Winter Weather Advisory
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1202 PM AKST Mon Dec 15 2025
...SNOW FOR THE PANHANDLE CONTINUES...
.The long duration snow event is ongoing as a band of moderate
snowfall is tracking inland today. This band is bringing snow for
those along the coast and to the Icy Strait Corridor area. The
snow will continue through tonight and early Tuesday morning.
Farther south, snow showers are expected for the central panhandle
for Monday afternoon into Monday night. Placement of these
showers is highly uncertain, but has been pinned down from
northern Prince of Wales Island up to around Petersburg. While
snow showers could certainly develop outside of this area, highest
likelihood, based on latest analysis, have prompted Winter
Weather Advisories for northern Prince of Wales and Petersburg for
tonight. Stay tuned for updates.
