URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
403 AM AKDT FRI MAR 20 2026
..SNOW SHOWERS ON FRIDAY REPLACED BY ADVANCING SYSTEM SATURDAY
.CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING ON SEEING A MORE SIGNIFICANT ROUND OF
SNOW THIS WEEKEND AS COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT REMAIN IN PLACE AND
ANOTHER ROUND OF MOISTURE MOVE IN. THERE REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY
FOR SNOW ACCUMULATIONS AT THE SURFACE AS WE ARE STARTING TO SEE
WARMER DAY TIME TEMPERATURES INTO THE MID TO HIGH 30S TO AROUND 40
DUE TO INCREASING DAYLIGHT AND SUN ANGLE, HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES
ALOFT ARE STILL VERY FAVORABLE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW AMOUNTS. IF
THE HEAVIER PRECIPITATION RATES ARE SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH TO
OVERCOME THE WARMER SURFACE TEMPERATURES, SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL
BE GREATER. BUT IF THE TEMPERATURES ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME THE
PRECIPITATION RATES, SNOWFALL WILL BE LIMITED AS IT MELTS BY THE
TIME IT REACHES THE SURFACE. THIS WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED FOR
ANY CHANGES IN POTENTIAL SNOW ACCUMULATION. THE ORIENTATION OF THE
LOW AND WHERE THE SHOWERS MOVE INTO THE PANHANDLE WILL ALSO
IMPACT THE SNOW AMOUNTS, WITH HOW NORTHWARD AND INLAND THE HEAVIER
MOISTURE WILL PUSH AND HOW ORGANIZED THE BANDS OF SNOW ARE
EXPECTED TO BE WHEN MOVING THROUGH THIS WEEKEND.
