Special Weather Statement issued March 18 at 1:13PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK

Alert Description

Snow showers will continue to impact the region through the week with snow accumulations being limited during the daytime hours. A more significant round of snow is possible this weekend as cold temperatures aloft remain in place and we see more moisture move in. There remains a lot of uncertainty for snow accumulations at the surface as we are starting to see warmer day time temperatures due to increasing daylight and sun angle. Temperatures aloft are still more favorable for accumulating snow amounts. If the 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. Stay tuned for the latest forecast updates at weather.gov/juneau.
