Winter Weather Advisory
URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1202 PM AKST Mon Dec 15 2025
...SNOW FOR THE PANHANDLE CONTINUES...
.The long duration snow event is ongoing as a band of moderate
snowfall is tracking inland today. This band is bringing snow for

tonight. Stay tuned for updates.
