• NWS Summary of September 2016 Weather at the Juneau International Airport:

  ...WARMER AND WETTER THAN NORMAL ACROSS SOUTHEAST ALASKA...
  
  SEPTEMBER OF 2016 WAS ANOTHER WARMER THAN NORMAL MONTH ACROSS THE
  PANHANDLE, COURTESY OF A SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER THAN NORMAL GULF OF
  ALASKA AND A PREVAILING STORM TRACK THAT CONSISTENTLY BROUGHT WARM,
  MOIST AIR FROM MORE SOUTHERLY LATITUDES. SEVERAL RECORD HIGH
  TEMPERATURES WERE REPORTED DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF THE MONTH BEFORE
  DAYTIME HIGHS AND LOWS FELL MORE IN LINE WITH CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS
  FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. APART FROM RECORD WARMTH AT THE BEGINNING
  OF SEPTEMBER, THE WARMER THAN NORMAL AVERAGE DAILY TEMPERATURES WERE
  LARGELY A RESULT OF WARMER THAN NORMAL OVERNIGHT LOWS. THIS HAS BEEN
  OBSERVED FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW. SEPTEMBER ALSO SAW THE FIRST FREEZE
  OF THE SEASON FOR SEVERAL LOCATIONS NEAR THE END OF THE MONTH AS A
  RESULT OF CLEAR SKIES AND A COOL, DRY OFFSHORE AIRMASS ORIGINATING IN
  CANADA, WITH SOME LOCATIONS SEEING RECORD COLD OVERNIGHT LOWS DURING
  THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH.
  
  THE PREVAILING STORM TRACK WHICH KEPT SOUTHEAST ALASKA WARMER THAN
  NORMAL ALSO RESULTED IN A RECURRING ATMOSPHERIC RIVER OVER THE REGION
  AND WETTER THAN NORMAL MONTH FOR MOST LOCATIONS. NOTABLY, YAKUTAT
  REMAINED BELOW NORMAL FOR PRECIPITATION IN SEPTEMBER IN SPITE OF HEAVY
  RAINS ON 11-12 SEPTEMBER AND AGAIN BETWEEN THE 20TH THROUGH THE 24TH.
  SEVERAL LOCATIONS BROKE 1-DAY PRECIPITATION RECORDS BEGINNING THE
  SECOND WEEK OF THE MONTH AS WELL AS THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH.
  
  SIGNIFICANT WIND ACCOMPANIED THE HEAVY RAIN ON THE 12TH AND 13TH WITH
  MANY AREAS EXPERIENCING VERY GUSTY CONDITIONS. AN OUTFLOW EVENT TOWARDS
  THE END OF THE MONTH PRODUCED STRONG WIND GUSTS IN ADDITION TO CLEAR
  SKIES AND DRY WEATHER.
