NWS Special Statement Statement as of 5:52 AM AKDT on April 07, 2013 ...Strong early Spring storm to affect the area Monday night and Tue... A strong low pressure area will move NE into the eastern Gulf Monday night. This low will spread strong winds and potentially heavy rain into the area Monday night and continue into at least Tuesday morning as a front associated with the low moves onshore. Rainfall over 1 inch and wind gusts over 40 mph are likely Monday night into Tuesday. This will increase the risk of avalanches and mudslides along steep terrain as temperatures will be on the mild side Monday night and Tuesday...with freezing levels likely rising above 3000 feet. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or other sources for updates on this situation.
