The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for the City and Borough of Juneau from 6 p.m. Monday through 3 a.m. Wednesday, calling for 8 to 14 inches of snow.
Strong winds kick up snow at the intersection for Main St. and Front St. in downtown Juneau on Nov. 20, 2023.
Meteorologist Nicole Ferrin says snowfall is not expected to be especially wet or heavy, but it will be sustained over the next couple of days. Several bands of moisture are expected to stall over Juneau, and frigid air pouring in from Taku Inlet and Icy Strait will keep it cold enough for dry snow. The incoming snow is thanks to the collision of a low pressure system that’s gathering moisture over the northern Gulf of Alaska and a high pressure system over the Yukon, which has sustained dry conditions, clear skies and frigid temperatures across the panhandle over the last week.
“But usually as the storm evolves the snowflake type will change and be able to accumulate a little bit better,” she said. ”
