NWS Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 5:00 AM AKST on January 17, 2009
...Periods of heavy rain expected across the northern Panhandle
this weekend...
A series of warm and moist Pacific fronts will bring periods of
heavy rain to the northern Panhandle over the weekend and into
early next week. The first batch of heavy rain is expected to
move into northern Southeast Alaska Saturday morning. More rain
is expected Sunday and Monday.
2 to 3 inches of rain is likely for Southeast Alaska north and
west of a Taku Inlet to Sitka line. This amount of rain combined
the warm temperatures...a deep snowpack across the region...and
freezing levels of 3 to 6 thousand feet...will cause significant
rises on small streams and rivers this weekend. Where ditches and
drains remain clogged with snow and ice...there is a potential
urban flooding.

Comments below from AEL&P's Scott Willis
on energy consumption:
1/13/09: "First full day on diesel.
We used just over 80,000 gallons. Average
temperature was the same Tuesday as it was
Monday, but total energy use was already
down 7% (949/1025). "
1/15/09: "Energy use yesterday was down
3.7% from the day before (949 to 914). Diesel
use down 3.9% over the same period."
1/16/09: "A little warmer yesterday
(1/15), and energy use up slightly...I've
added a couple more columns to show the percent
change since the day before and the total
% change since January 12, the day of the
avalanche."

NWS Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 1:00 PM AKST on January 12, 2009
...Continued warm with periods of rain across Southeast Alaska
this week...
Above average temperatures and periods of rain will persist this
week across Southeast Alaska. Water levels are high for low lying
roads...parking lots...drains...ditches...and small streams.
Water may intrude basements...garages and crawl spaces.
The weight of the existing deep snowpack will continue increasing
this week making for heavier loads on
roofs...gutters...sheds...boats...boat shelters...and piers. On
Tuesday morning...the water equivalent of the snowpack at
National Weather Service offices was 6.2 inches for Juneau and
6.1 inches for Yakutat.
Property owners should take action to protect against rising
water levels and heavier snow loads. Beware of heavy snow falling
or sliding off of roofs.
Monday was the wettest day across the Panhandle. Lesser rainfall
rates are occurring Tuesday due to a warm front moving from south
to north over the Panhandle. Snow will also continue along higher
elevations but freezing levels are rising up to 4000 feet inland
and up to 7000 feet along the outer coast.
Because the weather fronts are coming from the tropics
temperatures will remain much above average all week with
high temperatures in the upper 30s to upper 40s. Night time
temperatures may briefly fall to near freezing especially from
Juneau northward causing wet surfaces to turn icy.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other news and weather
sources for updates on this situation.

Service offices in Juneau and Yakutat was 5.7 inches Monday
morning.
Property owners should take action to protect against rising
water levels and heavier snow loads. Beware of heavy snow falling
or sliding off of roofs.
A weather system will bring periods of moderate rainfall today
and tonight to the Panhandle. On Wednesday the heaviest rainfall
will be near Yakutat giving a short break Wednesday for the rest
of the Panhandle. Long range weather maps are continuing to
indicate a chance of significant rain this Saturday and Sunday.
Because the weather fronts are coming from the tropics
now...temperatures will remain much above normal all week with high
temperatures in the upper 30s to upper 40s. Night time

With the existing snowpack and periods of light winds later in the
week...the Panhandle will also experience areas of locally dense
fog.

Property owners should take action to protect against rising

or sliding off of roofs.
Monday is expected to be the wettest day across the Panhandle.
Rainfall rates Monday morning were as high as 0.25 inches per
hour in Sitka...Klawock...and Metlakatla. Rain fall rates of 0.10
inch per hour were common elsewhere across Southeast Alaska. The
heaviest rain will move out of the central Panhandle today but
linger over the southern Panhandle tonight. Snow was still
falling in Skagway early Monday afternoon but is expected to
change to rain this evening.
A weaker weather system will bring lighter amounts of rain
Tuesday and Tuesday night. After a short break on Wednesday
another system will arrive about Thursday. Long range weather
maps are indicating a chance of significant rain next Saturday
and Sunday.
Because the weather fronts are coming from the tropics

NWS Flood Warning
Statement as of 5:21 AM AKST on January 12, 2009
...The Flood Warning remains in effect until 300 PM akst Monday for
urban areas and small streams due to rain and melting snow for the
Inner Channels area of Southeast Alaska including
Juneau...Wrangell...Petersburg...
At 502 am akst...Biorka radar is indicating heavy rain moving over
the Panhandle this morning and will continue into the afternoon.
The weather front over the Gulf will continue to spread heavy rain
across the area along with raising freezing levels. This weather
front will produce 1 to 2 inches of rain and with the deep snow pack
cause drainage problems. Many drains are likely to be blocked with
snow and cause standing water on roadways. Small streams will rise
as the freezing levels rise through the day. The rain on the deep
snow pack will also increase the weight and density of the snow.
People are urged to take precaution and move snow off roofs.
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.
The ongoing torrential rains and snowload could swamp boats.
Mariners should protect their vessels immediately.
Storm drains should be kept clear of debris as much as possible.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this situation.

NWS Flood Warning
Statement as of 3:09 PM AKST on January 11, 2009
The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a
* Flood Warning for urban areas and small streams due to rain and
melting snow for the...Inner Channels area of Southeast Alaska
including Juneau Wrangell Petersburg and Ketchikan.
* Until 300 PM akst Monday/400 PM PST Monday/
* at 304 PM akst/404 PM PST/ for heavy rain on the snowpack.
* Heavy rain will begin late tonight spreading north over the
Panhandle. Temperatures will remain above freezing and water will
increase the weight and density of the snowpack. Many drains are
likely to be blocked with snow. The impacts will be standing water,
increased snowloads on roofs, and the potential of snow capsizing
boats. Streams will rise as the freezing levels get higher. Some
areas could receive up to two inches of rainfall.
A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

NWS Special Weather Statement
Statement as of 6:02 AM AKST on January 11, 2009
...Heavy rain likely across Southeast Alaska tonight and Monday...
A very unusual mid winter warm storm is expected to bring heavy
rain to Southeast Alaska tonight and Monday. An average of 1
to 2 inches of rain is expected with as high as 4 inches possible
in the upslope terrain locations. In addition...freezing levels
will rise to above 2000 feet across the north to over 4000 feet in
the south by early next week.
This unusual warm weather pattern and possible heavy rain
combined with deep snow pack across the local region could result
in significant rises in water levels in ditches...small streams
and local rivers as well as blocked drains. There also will be an
increased risk of avalanche and snow slides. Another impact is
significant water added to heavy snow loads on roofs.
Persons across Southeast Alaska...especially those venturing into
the back country or near a flood prone area...should monitor this
developing situation very closely.
Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local weather
news source for updates on this situation.
