Winter Storm Warning
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
459 AM AKST Sun Dec 7 2025
...SNOW FOR THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE THIS WEEKEND...
.A pattern change is bringing colder temperatures and strong
outflow winds extending southward through the weekend. This
pattern, in combination with prolonged moisture, is producing
accumulating heavy snow for the Haines. Periods of heavy to
moderate snow continue over the Icy Strait Corridor due to the
arctic boundary moving south of the Hoonah - Juneau area.
The next band of heavier precipitation is expected to move
through Sunday morning. Snow is also expected to become lighter
and less dense as the event goes on following the drying trend.
Cold temperatures are expected to continue to spread southward
into early next week, increasing potential for a long duration
snowfall event.
As the arctic boundary moves south, snow accumulations spread
into the southern panhandle, including the Hyder area, into Monday
night.
