NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 9:10 AM AKST on January 12, 2013
...Warming trend and wet weather Sunday through Tuesday...
A stream of tropical moisture will move over the eastern Gulf of
Alaska on Sunday and will be over the Panhandle by Tuesday.
Temperatures will be rising to around 10 degrees above normal for
the northern sections of Southeast Alaska into midweek. This
pattern change will mean the snow level will rise to unseasonable
heights and significant melting will occur.
Rain on top of snow will make any snow become quite heavy and
reduce the depth of the snowpack. Snow removal will become
increasingly difficult. Expect water on top of persistent ice.
Storm drains and other runoff structures should be cleared for
proper drainage.
Boat owners should be aware of increased water in bilges and open
skiffs.
Avalanche danger will be increasing. Backcountry users should
maintain a heightened awareness. Freezing levels could rise as high
as 5000 feet.
A snow load chart is available on our web Page under articles.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other sources of
weather information for updates on the warming trend.
