Special Weather Statement
Issued: 9:31 AM Mar. 26, 2026 – National Weather Service
...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOW SHOWERS FOR THE SOUTHERN PANHANDLE...

A series of low pressure systems will approach the southern
panhandle through the end of the work week and into the weekend,
with multiple fronts/troughs lifting north through the region.
Multiple rounds of snow showers or rain/snow mix are expected for
Annette Island, Ketchikan, Prince of Wales Island and Port
Alexander. Heavier showers could reduce visibility down to 1/2
mile or less, with snowfall rates as high as 1 inch per hour. One
to three inches of snow is possible during the nighttime and early
morning hours, as air and surface temperatures hover near to
below freezing. Due to the showery nature of the snow,
accumulations will be highly variable across the area with
expected periods of melting in sunny breaks. Snow showers should
diminish through the weekend as surface ridging builds into
southeast Alaska.
