NWS Special Weather Statement Statement as of 4:06 PM AKST on January 08, 2010 ...Mild and wet weather expected to continue through next week... A mild and wet weather pattern is expected to persist across Southeast Alaska through next week. Temperatures and rainfall are expected to be above normal as a series of Pacific fronts originating from the central Pacific move through the area. Brief periods of wet snow are still possible across the northern Panhandle and near interior passes. However...no significant accumulations are expected as the precipitation will change over to all rain. The warmer and wet weather will also increase the potential for avalanches and in the higher terrain and wet snow slides and ponding of water at lower elevations by early next week. Strong winds are also possible across southern Southeast Alaska as the next front moves through Southeast Alaska. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio for updates on this developing weather situation. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1605: Cloudy, mainland mountaintops in clouds, light wind. 1550: Cloudy, top of Mt.
