Spot Forecast for 20 Mile...DPS

National Weather Service Anchorage AK

452 PM AKDT Fri Oct 24 2025



Forecast is based on forecast start time of 1700 AKDT on October 24. 

.DISCUSSION...



An unsettled and showery pattern will continue through the weekend

as multiple disturbances move northwest into the Kenai Peninsula

and Turnagain Arm region around a weak low drifting over the Gulf.

Another round of showers already streaming in from Prince William

Sound will continue to affect the 20 mile valley and surrounding

areas, transitioning from rain to snow showers overnight above

about 1000 ft as low level temperatures steadily cool. Conditions

still look likely to improve as the day progresses on Saturday as

snow showers diminish, though improvement to ceilings will depend

on whether lingering low clouds and moisture are able to fully mix

out by the afternoon hours. Generally dry and calm conditions will

continue into Saturday night, with the next round of snow 

not expected to begin until Sunday afternoon.
