Issued: 7:04 AM Dec. 25, 2025 – National Weather Service
...WINTER STORM WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY EVENING THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Heavy snow possible. Total snow accumulations of 4 to 15 inches possible. Winds could gust as high as 40 mph. * WHERE...Central and Southern Panhandle. * WHEN...From Friday evening through Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult and is discouraged. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Heavy snow will impact the southern panhandle early Saturday morning and lasting into the late morning to afternoon, as the warm front brings a transition to rain starting with the outer coastline. PoW and Baranof Island will see the transition to rain first as the southerly flow and warmer air pushes in behind the front, with the 4 to 6 inches of snow accumulation in 6 hours expected in the early morning through midday as the transition to rain begins. Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg, Kake, and Angoon will see snow lasting longer into Saturday and higher snow accumulations due to the longer duration before transitioning to rain fully. These areas will see closer to between 8 and 12 inches in 12 hours during the day Saturday before transitioning to rain, with Wrangell and Petersburg potentially seeing the snow last longer into Saturday night and Sunday morning depending on the warming down to the surface. Heavy rain will follow after the snowfall ends, lasting into Sunday. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation. &&
