550 AM AKST Mon Dec 8 2025
...BLIZZARD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM AKST THIS
AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Blizzard conditions. Winds gusting as high as 80 mph.
* WHERE...Thompson Pass.
* WHEN...Until 4 PM AKST this afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Visibilities reduced to one quarter mile or less due to
blowing and drifting of snow. Travel could be very difficult.
Frostbite may occur in as little as 10 minutes on exposed skin.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic airmass continues to drive strong
winds through Thompson Pass. Snow already on the ground and strong
gap winds will continue to produce areas of blowing snow that may
significantly reduce visibility. Winds will gradually begin to
decrease Monday evening. Wind chills will remain near -40F.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Blowing snow with strong winds and poor
visibilities are likely. If you must travel, have a winter survival
kit with you. Leave plenty of room between you and the motorist
ahead of you, and allow extra time to reach your destination. Avoid
sudden braking or acceleration, and be especially cautious on hills
or when making turns. Make sure your car is winterized and in good
working order. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
For the latest road conditions call 5 1 1 or visit 511.alaska.gov.
Persons are urged to stay indoors until conditions improve. If you
must go outside, dress in layers. Several layers of clothes will
keep you warmer than a single heavy coat. Cover exposed skin to
reduce your risk of frostbite or hypothermia. Gloves, a scarf, and a
hat will keep you from losing your body heat.

Winter Storm Warning
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
554 AM AKST Mon Dec 8 2025
...SNOW FOR THE PANHANDLE INTO EARLY WEEK...
Cold, stable, dry air moving in from Canada is currently
preventing most of the moisture from reaching the Gustavus,
Juneau, Hoonah, Pelican, Angoon, Haines, & Tenakee Springs areas.
The lack of saturation is causing the snow to fall as fine
flakes, limiting accumulation. This cold & dry air is continuing
to push southward.
The arctic boundary is currently entering the southern third of
the panhandle, with snow expected to become the more dominant
precipitation type around the Petersburg & Wrangell areas, soon.
The next system moving up from the south for Monday looks to bring
moderate-to-heavy, short-duration snowfall rates to primarily the
northern half of Prince of Wales Island, Wrangell, and Petersburg.
The band of snow is expected to move northward during the day
Monday, with the high uncertainty being how far north the deeper
moisture will move north.

Winter Weather Advisory
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
554 AM AKST Mon Dec 8 2025
...SNOW FOR THE PANHANDLE INTO EARLY WEEK...
Cold, stable, dry air moving in from Canada is currently
preventing most of the moisture from reaching the Gustavus,
Juneau, Hoonah, Pelican, Angoon, Haines, & Tenakee Springs areas.
The lack of saturation is causing the snow to fall as fine
flakes, limiting accumulation. This cold & dry air is continuing
to push southward.
The arctic boundary is currently entering the southern third of
the panhandle, with snow expected to become the more dominant
precipitation type around the Petersburg & Wrangell areas, soon.
The next system moving up from the south for Monday looks to bring
moderate-to-heavy, short-duration snowfall rates to primarily the
northern half of Prince of Wales Island, Wrangell, and Petersburg.
The band of snow is expected to move northward during the day
Monday, with the high uncertainty being how far north the deeper
moisture will move north.
