NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 2:43 PM AKST on January 31, 2012
...Warm and wet across the Panhandle through the week...
A weather pattern change is ongoing across Southeast Alaska with
warmer conditions along with some strong winds developing late
Wednesday afternoon into Thursday. Freezing level will rise and
range from around 1200 feet over the north central areas to 2200
feet over the southern areas by Wednesday. These freezing levels
will hover around there through most of the week. A series of
weather fronts will move across the region with rain being dominant
and possibly heavy at times Wednesday night.
The rain on snow/ice covered roads will make travel very hazardous
through the week. Also with most areas across the region with
above normal snow on the ground there maybe areas of ponding water
due to poor drainage by Thursday morning. A strong weather front
will move over the area producing heavy precipitation Wednesday
night into Thursday. The rain will make snow very hard to manage
due to the increase of water content and also increase snow loads
on roofs. People are urged to clear storm drains of snow to help
alleviate the flooding potential and clear off roofs to alleviate
the Load on the structures.
As the freezing levels rise it will increase the potential for
large avalanches due to high density of snow over less dense snow.
The potential for strong winds on Wednesday night will also
increase the avalanche danger with wind gusts from 40 to 55 mph at
the surface...winds will be much higher in the mountains. People
who venture into the back-country should remain cautious in steep
terrain and in avalanche prone areas.

- 0250 AST: NWS: A series of Winter Storms to affect
Southeast Alaska Friday through Monday.
NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 2:50 AM AKST on January 19, 2012
...A series of winter storms to affect Southeast Alaska Friday
through Monday...
A series of strong low pressure systems lifting out of the central
Pacific is forecast to battle a deep and very cold air mass across
the Panhandle starting Friday and continuing into early next week.
Temperatures are expected to slowly rise through this time period.
The first low is forecast to move into the southeast Gulf Friday
and will bring snow to the southern Panhandle and strong
winds...low wind chills...and heavy freezing spray to the northern
Panhandle.
A second strong low is forecast to move into the southeast Gulf
Saturday then weaken as it moves across central Southeast Alaska
Saturday night and Sunday morning. This will bring snow to the
central and part of the northern Panhandle...while the southern
Panhandle will likely mix with rain. Strong north winds and low
wind chills will continue for far northern Southeast Alaska.
The third system is looking more likely to track further east into
southern Southeast Alaska Monday. This would generally mean more
precipitation over the south than the north...and if it tracks too
far east it would diminish the snow threat over the north.
Persons across Southeast Alaska...especially those with outdoor
activities...should be prepared for harsh winter conditions
including strong winds...low wind chills...freezing spray...and
heavy snow. Keep updated on this developing winter weather event
with the latest National Weather Service warnings and forecasts
available from NOAA Weather Radio or on the world wide web.

Saturday night. Strong north winds and low wind chills will
continue for northern Southeast Alaska.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 8:30 PM AKST on January 12, 2012
...Very cold and windy conditions for the Panhandle this weekend
and next week...
The weather pattern across Southeast Alaska will turn very cold
and windy starting late Friday night and persist through next
week. A strong high pressure center will build over the Yukon
Friday night and the northern Panhandle Saturday. This high
pressure will send very cold Arctic air across the area causing
temperatures to fall through the day Friday into the 20s over the
northern areas and lower 30s over the southern area. Temperatures
will continue to fall through the weekend with highs ranging from
the single digits over the northern third of the Panhandle to the
mid 20s to mid teens over the southern third. Low temperatures will
range from below zero over the northern half to low teens over the
south third. The cold air will persist into next week and high
temperatures will range from single digits over the northern half
and near 20 over the southern half. Lows will remain below zero to
single digits. People should take action to keep pipes from
freezing since many locations across Southeast Alaska are snow
free.
Along with the very cold temperatures the high pressure will
produce very strong winds from the northeast. Winds will increase
through Friday night and persist into next week. Marine waters
will see widespread gales over the northern two thirds with gusts
from 60 to 70 kt out of interior passes over the Inner Channels and
over the northeast Gulf. The strong winds and cold temperatures
will produce heavy freezing spray late Friday night into Saturday
and continue through the weekend. There will also be very strong
wind gusts in exposed areas and near interior passes over land
areas. The Juneau area can expect Taku winds to develop late
Friday night and persist into early next week. The combination of
the strong winds and cold temperatures will create very cold wind
chills ranging from -30 over the far northern areas to -10 over
the central Inner Channels.
