Special Weather Statement
Issued: 12:50 AM Feb. 10, 2026 – National Weather Service
...A STRONG FRONT AND GALE TO STORM FORCE LOW TO BRING IMPACTFUL WEATHER TUESDAY THROUGH THURSDAY... A strong front is still on track to push into SE AK from the west later Tuesday into early Wednesday. The highest impact from this front will be areas of strong winds with gusts near 40 to 45 mph in many places and gusts of 50 to 55 mph near Skagway. A period of moderate to heavy rainfall will also occur with the frontal passage, but with the progressive nature of the front, flooding is not expected at this time. Additionally, a gale to potentially storm force low will quickly lift northeast into the Gulf and push across southeast Alaska sometime later Wednesday into Thursday, bringing another round of strong gusty winds and moderate to heavy rainfall. Currently there is around an 80% chance of gale force winds with a 60 to 70% chance of storm force wind gusts. We will continue to update details on the wind and flooding potential for this system in the coming days. Looking further ahead, a cooling trend is favored to commence in the wake of these passing systems by late work week into the weekend. Snow levels will begin to lower and a colder outflow wind pattern could set up by late weekend. This could result in a return of snow for some coastal communities, especially across northern southeast Alaska. Further details on the pattern change and snow potential will be honed as the weekend approaches.
