URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
131 PM AKST Thu Nov 20 2025

...SNOW TO CONTINUE ON UPPER ELEVATIONS OF THE KLONDIKE HIGHWAY
THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...

.Most concern for snowfall continues to be north of mile post 10 towards
White Pass.

The winter weather advisory has been extended for the Klondike
Highway through Friday evening. This is in anticipation of
continuing long duration accumulating snow through Friday.
Forecast confidence is highest for accumulating snow north of mile
post 10 towards White Pass through Friday night, with expected
lower snow levels and higher precipitation amounts. Dense, wet
snow will make up a majority of the accumulating snow, with latest
guidance further lowering snow ratios Thursday night into Friday
morning. Snow levels will then continue to drop throughout the day
Friday and increase snow ratios again, allowing for more
accumulation through the day Friday.

Stay tuned for additional details at weather.gov/juneau.

...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM AKST FRIDAY...

* WHAT...Long duration snowfall continues. Additional snow
  accumulations of 8 to 10 inches through Friday night. Wind gusts
  up to 30 mph.

* WHERE...Klondike Highway, North of Milepost 10.

* WHEN...Until 9 PM AKST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest snowfall rates are expected through
  Thursday evening with potential for up to 1 inch per hour rates
  for short period near White Pass. Main concern will be long
  duration rates around 0.25 to 0.50 inch per hour expected to
  continue through Friday for the upper elevations of the Klondike
  Highway. Southerly winds intensify Thursday evening and last
  into Friday evening, bringing the potential for some drifting
  snow near White Pass with wind gusts up to 30 mph limiting
  visibilities. However, this southerly push lowers forecast
  confidence in accumulating snow through the daytime hours at
  lower elevations of the Klondike Highway and Skagway on Friday.
  Current forecast has storm total snowfall around 12 to 14 inches
  from Thursday to Friday night.
