1030 AM AKST Sat Dec 6 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 and Klondike highways and
communities of the northern panhandle and the northeast Gulf
coast as of early Saturday morning. The snow forecast for the Icy
Strait Corridor has begun as the arctic boundary has moved to
Gustavus- Juneau area Saturday morning. The next band of
heavier precipitation is expected to move through tonight into
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.
