Winter Storm Watch
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
432 PM AKST Thu Dec 4 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 continues to increase that this pattern change, in
combination with prolonged moisture, will produce accumulating
heavy snow for the Haines and Klondike highways and communities
of the northern panhandle. Forecast confidence has also increased
for potential warning level snowfall moving into Yakutat and the
Icy Strait Corridor. Heavy precipitation rates begin to reach
Yakutat late Friday into early Saturday. The main forecast
challenge over the Yakutat area continues to be the timing of when
precipitation will become all snow. The snow forecast for the Icy
Strait Corridor is more likely to be early next week, so we will
continue to monitor and update the snow forecast through the
weekend. Cold temperatures are expected to continue to spread
southward into early next week, increasing potential for a long
duration snowfall event.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...As temperatures begin to fall in the City

still some uncertainty when precipitation will transition to all
snow in Yakutat. With heavy precipitation rates beginning to
fall late Friday into Saturday, even a wintry mix could cause
snow accumulations to begin.

* IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to
snow and blowing snow. Travel could be very difficult. Frostbite
may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic airmass will drive colder air and
strong winds through Thompson Pass beginning Friday. The
combination of snow already on the ground, along with additional
snowfall expected and strong gap winds, will likely lead to snow
and blowing snow that may severely reduce visibility. Snow is
likely to taper off starting Sunday morning. However, gusty winds
will persist.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Winter Storm Watch for blizzard conditions means there is a
potential for falling and/or blowing snow with strong winds and
extremely poor visibilities. This can lead to whiteout conditions
and make travel very hazardous.
