Special Weather Statement
Issued: 12:37 PM Mar. 6, 2026 – National Weather Service
...GALE FORCE FRONT FRIDAY FOLLOWED BY A COOL DOWN AND SNOW SHOWERS OVER THE WEEKEND... After the waves of snow which have been moving through SE AK the past few weeks, warming temperatures are bringing a changeover to rain for the area. Snow levels will reach between 2k to 4k feet on Friday across the Icy Strait Corridor, and climb above 7k feet for the southern panhandle. A gale force front moving through the area Friday will bring with it widespread rainfall of between 0.5 to 1.5 inches, although no flooding is expected. However ponding of water in low lying or poor drainage areas due to recent snow is likely. Active weather will then continue on Saturday as a compact low pressure system starts to make its way into the northern gulf. This low will bring southwesterly strong gale force winds into the southern gulf, eventually pushing into the central and southern panhandle. This will bring windy conditions inland as well, with the strongest winds along the gulf coast. A cool down occurs over the weekend, with another wave of moisture racing across the Gulf and into the panhandle on Saturday. By Saturday night, snow showers will be in abundance throughout the region, and will continue into early next week, resulting in variable snow accumulations.
