Winter Storm Watch 03/02/2026 09:57 , Alaska

...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY WEEK... Snow continues for the central inner channels from Wrangell and Kake northward though rates are starting to diminish. Expect the snow to continue to diminish through the day as the system moves off to the east. 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 6 to 11 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph. * 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.
