Storm force winds will develop over the outer coastal waters early Monday afternoon through early Monday evening. Inner Channels winds will near maximum gale force during this time. In addition communities along the outer coast will experience strong wind gusts...residents should take necessary precautions. Over the northern Panhandle colder air will be imported from Canada with an offshore flow pattern late Sunday into Monday. Precipitation from the front associated with the Monday low will begin as snow with possible heavier snowfall totals over the northern portions of the Panhandle early in the week. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1500: .27" of Rainfall to this point today. 1450: Sprinkling/Very Light Rain, Cloudy, some clouds on the upper Channel side of Mt.

NWS Special Statement Statement as of 5:16 AM AKST on December 24, 2011 ...Strong storm to impact Southeast Alaska Monday... Another in the series of lows to impact Southeast Alaska is expected to move northward over the eastern Gulf and then northwest to the Prince William Sound region by Tuesday. This system is expected to be one of the stronger systems to impact the Panhandle in the last week or so. The potential for storm force winds over the outer coastal waters and into some of the Inner Channels are very likely for Monday...and this also means that there will be some very gusty winds for the coastal communities along the outer coast too. Residents should take necessary precautions as needed. An offshore flow pattern will import some cooler temperatures over the northern portions of the Panhandle late Sunday and Monday. This will result in the northern Panhandle likely starting as snow combined with some mid latitude moisture that will be pulled into this system...could result in some heavier snowfall totals over the northern portion of the Panhandle. 0023 AST: High Rain Rate of .19" of Rain per hour. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Fri. 12/23/11: 2100 AST: .33" of Precipitation to this point today. 1/8" of Snow-Slush fell today with 0.0" of Snow on the ground at 2100 hours. 2050: Very Light Sprinkling, Cloudy, a few lower clouds. 2020: Cloudy, light wind. 1953: Rain. 1950: Light Sprinkling, Cloudy, upper part of Mt.

NWS Special Statement Statement as of 1:26 PM AKST on December 05, 2011 ...Potential for black ice tonight across the northern and central Panhandle... Heavy rain fell across much of the Panhandle today leading to wet pavement and ponding on area roadways. Diminishing cloud cover this evening will lead to falling temperatures overnight with most areas north of Frederick Sound falling below freezing Monday night into Tuesday morning. Low temperatures will range from the lower 20s in the far northern areas to near freezing over the central Inner Channels. Standing water from today's rainfall combined with snow-melt will lead to the development of black ice as temperatures fall below freezing. This will create hazardous driving conditions overnight and through much of Tuesday morning. Travel with caution as roads will be slippery...reduce speeds and keep a safe distance from other cars. ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1300: Cloudy, a few lower wisps in the inner Gold Creek valley. 1245: Cloudy, clouds in much of the inner Gold Creek valley. 1231: Very Light Rain, Cloudy, very top of Mt.
