URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
349 PM AKST Wed Dec 3 2025

...SNOW FOR THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE THIS WEEKEND...

.A pattern change will bring colder temperatures and strong
outflow winds extending southward starting Friday night. Forecast
confidence is increasing that this pattern change, in combination
with prolonged moisture, will produce accumulating heavy snow for
the highways and communities of the northern panhandle, including
the Klondike and Haines Highways, as well as the cities of Haines
and Skagway. Forecast confidence is not high enough for warning
level snowfall moving toward Juneau and the Icy Strait Corridor,
though the forecast continues to be monitored and updated through
the week. Cold temperatures are expected to continue to spread
southward into early next week, increasing potential for a long
duration snowfall event.
