Residents of Haines Junction, Yukon, should prepare for a return to winter conditions as Environment Canada forecasts snow and flurries starting March 21, 2026. The snowy weather is expected to last through March 24, 2026, bringing an end to a brief break from the cold.
The forecast shows a 60 percent chance of snow on Saturday, followed by steady snowfall on Sunday. While Tuesday will see a mix of sun and clouds, there is a 30 percent chance of flurries during the day before more snow arrives that night.
Temperatures during this stretch will be much colder than usual for this time of year. Daytime highs are expected to stay between -6°C and -8°C, which is well below the typical late March maximum of 1°C.
Because of the snow and wind chill, travel on local roads and the Alaska Highway may become hazardous over the next few days. Drivers are encouraged to check for real-time updates on road conditions through 511 Yukon before traveling.
The cold will be most noticeable on Tuesday night when the temperature is expected to drop to -20°C. Residents are advised to monitor local weather alerts as these winter patterns continue through the upcoming week.
