Temperatures above freezing combined with steady rainfall over the next few days on the snow pack will cause standing water to form in low lying areas. Drainage in some locations will be hampered by an ice layer or compacted snow below the surface. Expect some streams to begin flowing with increasing water levels. Rainfall on snow will increase the weight of the snow Load. Persons should remove deep snow layers from structures where increased Load may be a problem. Boat owners are advised to clear snow from decks and ensure that bilge pumps are operable. Standing water that develops on roadways may also be a hazard. Water over ice will cause slick surfaces. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite news media for updates on this situation.

Arctic air will no longer grip Southeast Alaska as a series of warm fronts move onto the coast. Rising temperatures combined with rainfall on the snow pack will cause standing water to form in low lying areas. Drainage in some locations will be hampered by an ice layer well below the surface. Expect some local streams to begin flowing with increasing water levels. Rainfall on snow will increase the weight of the snow Load. Persons should begin to remove deep snow layers from structures where increased Load may be a problem. Boat owners are advised to clear snow from decks and ensure that bilge pumps are operable. Standing water that develops on roadways may also be a hazard. Water over ice will cause slick surfaces. Some areas may experience freeze-thaw cycles where standing water refreezes. A cold front will move onto the Southeast Alaska coast early Friday morning. Temperatures will drop near or below freezing Friday and Saturday with mainly snow where there is precipitation. The outlook is for warmer temperatures with rain and snow on Sunday. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite news media for updates on this situation.
