Winter Storm Watch 03/02/2026 02:40 , Alaska

...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY WEEK... Snow continues for the central inner channels from Wrangell and Kake northward. Prince of Wales Island mainly has rain at coastal communities, but inland areas of the island are seeing snow. Expect the precip to diminish through the morning as the system moves off to the east Monday. Another system will bring more accumulating snow to the panhandle Monday night into Tuesday night. The track of this follow up feature could lead to significant swings in snow accumulations from Frederick Sound northward to the Icy Strait corridor. * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 13 inches possible. * WHERE...Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island, Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait, Admiralty Island and City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...From late Monday night through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult and is discouraged. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic boundary over the panhandle is expected to continue to linger around Frederick Sound Monday into Tuesday. An approaching system will bring a fresh influx of moisture and moderate to heavy snow to the central panhandle. A more southerly track of this feature could lead to much lower snow totals for communities north of Angoon.
