What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this wind advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Juneau, AK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind advisory went out at Jan 25, 10:56 AM AKST, 1 hour 52 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jan 25, 10:56 AM AKST, 1 hour 52 minutes before
Southeast Alaska Forecast Discussion...UPDATED
National Weather Service Juneau AK
1056 AM AKST Sun Jan 25 2026

.MID MORNING AND 18Z AVIATION UPDATE...
Changes to ongoing forecast include reducing temperatures across
the board for the Icy Strait corridor communities and northward
as temperatures remain in the teens to low 20s. As of 10am, a weak
front has slowly pushed into the panhandle this morning,
currently draped across the central and southern panhandle from
Baranof to Ketchikan with a mixed bag of observations of rain
along the coastal communities and snow over the interior inner
channels. This initial front will remain stationary over the
central and southern panhandle, with light precipitation
continuing from around Sitka to Angoon southward. A secondary
surge of moisture will send this front and precipitation northward
towards the Icy Strait corridor with snow chances increasing
after 3pm, greatly increasing after 9pm AKST Sunday. Current snow
forecast remains relatively unchanged, around 2 to 4 inches with
locally higher amounts up to 5" from Angoon northward to the Icy
Strait corridor to Skagway, including Juneau. Precipitation will
transition from snow to rain snow mix and eventually all rain from
south to north across the panhandle through Sunday night and into
Monday. Forecast remains on track with that ongoing for the S
Prince of Wales near Hydaburg, with the Juneau area expected to
transition to rain or rain/snow mix around 12pm Monday afternoon.
Could see a brief period of wintry mix/freezing rain, for areas
just inland along the coastline, most notably for Tenakee Springs
and Hoonah. Current probabilities for freezing rain are around
40% between 4 am and 10 am Monday. Active weather will then
continue through the early and mid week, with numerous weather
systems pushing into the panhandle with gradually rising
temperatures.

&&

.AVIATION.../through 18z Monday/
MVFR to VFR conditions ongoing across the panhandle this morning
with CIGS AoB 2500 around the Icy Strait corridor and NW towards
Yakutat. Main culprit for Yakutat, and Gustavus is a band of mid
level dryness visible on satellite trapping low level stratus,
with negligible wind to mix out. Expecting this to gradually
dissipate from NW to SE, starting with Yakutat then Gustavus by
22z. Further south, weak front has pushed into the central and
southern panhandle, with precipitation being reported at Sitka,
Ketchikan, and Klawock. With the central and southern panhandle
coastal community TAF sites, expecting predominate -RA or -RASN,
transitioning to RA through 00z Monday. TAF sites along the Icy
STrait corridor, including Yakutat, Gustavus, and Juneau, snow
chances increase after 00z Monday as secondary reinforcing front
pushes northward through Sunday night. Transition to rain will be
slow with current expectation around 18z Monday to 00z Tuesday for
PAJN. Main aviation concern will be icing across the central and
southern panhandle through the TAF period during the transition
from snow to rain, with AAWU in agreement of isolated moderate
icing from Sitka to Petersburg southward around 8000ft and
upwards.

Not anticipating wind concerns through Sunday night, around 10
kts or less. Winds increase for the S Panhandle by 18z Monday to
around 10 to 15kts as another system pushes into the area. Added
LLWS near very end of PAKT TAF, anticipating adding additional
LLWS and expansions to other TAF sites with next package issuance.

.PREV DISCUSSION......ISSUED AT 648 AM AKST Sun Jan 25 2026...

SHORT TERM...Active weather is once more advancing into SE AK,
with a slow moving front pushing into the southern half of the
area as of the time of writing. The forecast remains largely on
track, although some minor adjustments to timing of the rain/snow
changeover, as well as to snowfall totals have been made. While
the bulk of the best dynamics stay west of the area, many
locations are nonetheless expected to see as least some snow with
this, especially for the start of the system for Sunday and (for
the Icy Strait Corridor northward) into Monday. Slightly increased
snowfall amounts for parts of the Icy Strait Corridor, with some
locations likely to see upwards of 5 inches here. Around 2.5
inches or less for most places near sea level which are further
south. The changeover to rain/snow was also accelerated across the
southern panhandle, with warm air expected to prevail there
Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening. Some breezy winds expected
to arrive as well, with wind gusts as high as 30 to 40 mph on
Monday. For additional information, see the long term forecast.

LONG TERM...For the start of the long term period, the pattern
across the area changes from the cold and dry to more warm and
wet. A low moving north from the Pacific into the Gulf of Alaska
will bring a reinforcing shot of warm air and moisture to the
panhandle. Ensembles as well as deterministic guidance continue to
struggle to lock in on an exact placement and strength of this
low but keep the pattern in place. As the low remains in the area,
new smaller lows are expected to break off from the parent low
and move into the area bringing more rain and winds to the
panhandle. Current thinking is that there could be up to 1-1.5" of
rain in 24 hours with these systems moving in. Winds with this
system will be something to watch as there is some agreement on
potentially stronger winds for the panhandle. EFIs are starting to
highlight the potential for stronger winds across the southern
panhandle for the middle of the week. If the confidence continues
to increase for this potential, wind products might be needed.

Heading into the latter half of the week, CPC 6-10 day and 8-14
outlooks continue to show an increased likelihood for above normal
temperatures as well as above normal precipitation across SE AK.

MARINE...
Outside (Gulf and Coastal waters):
Quiet weather conditions are coming to an end. An incoming front
will push across the Gulf through Sunday. No major impacts
expected, winds maximize along the Baranof coast by Sunday
afternoon around 20 to 30kts into Sunday night with seas 7 to 10ft
under a SW-ly swell. Looking ahead towards early next week, a set
of back to back systems will push into the SE-Gulf starting early
Tuesday morning, with the secondary boundary expected Tuesday
night. SW-ly swell turns SE-ly with sustained Gale force winds
expected along both sides of Prince of Wales Island, W Baranof, NE
Gulf (including coastal Yakutat) starting Tuesday morning,
continuing and increasing by Tuesday evening. Seas along the coast
quickly increase through Tuesday, around 8 to 12ft in the morning
upwards of 15 to 20ft by Tuesday afternoon off Baranof.

Inside (Inner Channels):
Quiet conditions come to an end through early Sunday afternoon as
front pushes into the panhandle with inner channel sustained winds
increasing to around 20 to 30kts, and seas 3 to 5 feet, increasing
in S Clarence Strait towards Dixon Entrance upwards of 8 feet.
Localized sea ice has been reported within Tenakee Inlet. Active
weather will continue through next week as back to back systems
approach by early Tuesday morning and again by Tuesday evening,
keeping wave heights and wind speeds elevated.
