NWS Special Statement Statement as of 4:24 PM AKDT on October 11, 2013 An unusual weather pattern for Alaska is very likely to continue through mid October. For Southeast Alaska...heavy rains are forecast to move over the area from northwest to southeast Sunday through Monday night. Significantly drier conditions are expected for the remainder of the week. Overnight low and daytime high temperatures are forecast to be above normal by 5 to 10 degrees with the largest departures from normal occurring over the Inner Channels away from the outer coast. This unusual weather pattern will be felt statewide. Storm tracks will remain across the southern Bering Sea and strong fronts will continue to move across the Gulf of Alaska. This will result in regionally heavy precipitation over the course of the next week...and significantly above normal temperatures for nearly all of Alaska. This is in sharp contrast to October 2012...which was unusually cold and with below normal precipitation over the eastern two thirds of the state. Strong high pressure aloft is centered off the coast of British Columbia and southern Gulf of Alaska while low pressure is centered over the central Bering Sea and Aleutians. This type of pattern may allow one or more storms to tap into high moisture content air from the tropical Pacific region. This pattern is expected to persist into next weekend. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 1550: Cloudy, very top - top of Mt. Juneau and of Mt.
