NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 2:40 PM AKST on November 29, 2011
...Changing weather pattern for Southeast Alaska mid week...
Warmer temperatures, snow levels as high as 3000 feet, and rain
that will be heavy at times will move to Southeast Alaska Wednesday
night and Thursday. 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible across the
area.
The rain will fall on deep snow pack that ranges from 8 to 13
inches in the Juneau and Petersburg areas, around 45 inches at
Annex Creek and Snettisham, to 53 inches in Haines. Initially the
snow will absorb the rain and will lead to locally very high snow
loads on roof tops, boats and other structures.
As temperatures continue to rise, snow melt and heavy rain will
cause increased runoff. With storm drains and ditches covered by
snow and large snow berms along roads, there is the potential for
ponding of water in low lying areas Wednesday night and Thursday.
Standing water on icy surfaces will make roads and sidewalks
extremely slippery.
Also, as the freezing levels rise, avalanche danger will increase
along mountain slopes up to at least 3000 feet.
Persons in Southeast Alaska can prepare for this event by removing
snow from structures, boats, and other objects than can be damaged
by the excessive weight of wet snow. Clear storm drains and breach
snow berms to allow for better drainage.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 2:40 PM AKST on November 28, 2011
...Changing weather pattern for Southeast Alaska mid week...
Warmer temperatures, snow levels as high as 3000 feet, and rain that
will be heavy at times will move to Southeast Alaska Wednesday
night and Thursday. 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible across the area.
The rain will fall on deep snow pack that ranges from 10 to 20
inches in the Juneau and Petersburg areas, around 45 inches at
Annex Creek and Snettisham, to 70 inches in Haines. Initially the
snow will absorb the rain and will lead to locally very high snow
loads on roof tops, boats and other structures.
As temperatures continue to rise, snow melt and heavy rain will
cause increased runoff. With storm drains and ditches covered by
snow and large snow berms along roads, there is the potential for
ponding of water in low lying areas Wednesday night and Thursday.
Standing water on icy surfaces will make roads and sidewalks extremely
slippery.
Also, as the freezing levels rise, avalanche danger will increase
along mountain slopes up to at least 3000 feet.
Persons in Southeast Alaska can prepare for this event by removing
snow from structures, boats, and other objects than can be damaged
by the excessive weight of wet snow. Clear storm drain and breach
snow berms to allow for better drainage.

Panhandle mid week.
NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 2:44 PM AKST on November 27, 2011
...Changing weather pattern for the Alaskan Panhandle mid week...
A strong area of high pressure is forecast to build over the
northeast Pacific. This will send a warm and very wet weather
system into the eastern Gulf Wednesday and across Southeast Alaska
by Thursday. This will bring the potential for heavy rain to area
Wednesday and Thursday.
The heavy rain will fall on an unusually high November snow pack
which will initially result in increased snow loads on buildings,
especially for the Yakutat and Haines areas. It will also increase
the avalanche danger.
As temperatures continue to warm and the snow melts, there will be
the potential for urban type flooding where ditches and storm
drains are blocked by snow.
Persons across Southeast Alaska can prepare for this event by
removing snow from structures and objects that can be damaged by
the excessive weight of the wet snow. Storm drains should be cleared
of snow.
