Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
August 26, 2026 - 7:47am
Expires:
August 26, 2026 - 8:00pm
Description:
Snowfall will be likely through the day. Given the rain
beforehand and the near/above freezing temperatures, snow will
struggle to accumulate immediately but there will be minor
accumulations by this morning. There may be a brief break later
this morning into the early afternoon, likely allowing snow to
gradually melt. Then snow returns Wednesday evening before
diminishing into snow showers Thursday morning.
Additional snow totals around 1 to 2 inches are expected
early this morning in the area from Atigun Pass to Sagwon. Snow
will continue through the day but struggle to stick due to warmer
temperatures and higher sun angle. Another 1 to 2 inches of snow
are expected to accumulate tonight before tapering off.
