NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
811 AM AKDT TUE AUG 26 2014
.SHORT TERM...AN UPPER LOW LIES OVER THE FAR NORTHERN CENTRAL
GULF WITH AN UPPER TROUGH ROTATING ABOUT THE BASE OF THE LOW.
COLDER AIR FROM 500 MB DOWN TO NEAR THE SURFACE IS BEING ADVECTED
INTO THE NORTHERN GULF AND THEN EASTWARD TOWARDS THE PANHANDLE BY
THE LOW AND TROUGH, ENHANCING AN ALREADY CONVECTIVE ENVIRONMENT.
THE 12Z YAKUTAT UPPER AIR SOUNDING IS MODERATELY CONVECTIVE WITH A
LIFTED INDEX OF -0.4 AND CAPE OF 252 J/KG. MODELED CAPE VALUES
APPROACHING 500 J/KG AND A LARGE AREA OVER THE GULF WITH NEGATIVE
LIFTED INDEX VALUES IS MOVING EAST WITH THE COLDER AIR. SATELLITE
IMAGERY IS LOOKING MORE CONVECTIVE THAN YESTERDAY AND HEAVY SHOWERS
HAVE ALREADY BEEN REPORTED IN YAKUTAT. FINALLY, SPORADIC LIGHTNING
HAS BEEN DETECTED THROUGH THE NIGHT. SET UP INDICATES GOOD
POTENTIAL FOR MARITIME AS WELL AS OVERLAND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THIS
SHORT TERM FORECAST PERIOD. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE A LOW FREQUENCY OF
OCCURRENCE IN THIS REGION, BUT CAN ALSO BE A HIGH IMPACT EVENT FOR
THAT SAME REASON. IF THESE STORMS DEVELOP AS FORECAST, EXPECT TO
SEE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS REACH AS FAR EAST AS JUNEAU BY LATE
THIS AFTERNOON. SOUTHERLY EXTENT SHOULD BE DOWN TO KRUZOF ISLAND
AND ANGOON. TO THE NORTH, AS FAR NORTH AS BERNERS BAY, THEN WEST
ACROSS SOUTHERN LYNN CANAL, THEN NORTH TO NEAR THE HAINES HIGHWAY.
IN SPITE OF SHOWERS BEING CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SOME HEAVY, BUT
SHORT LIVED PRECIPITATION, AM NOT EXPECTING LARGE ACCUMULATIONS
OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT 24 HOURS AS THEY TRACK EAST ACROSS
SOUTHEAST ALASKA.
GUSTY WINDS IMPLICIT IN OR NEAR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY, BUT HAVE
NOT BROKEN THIS OUT SEPARATELY IN THE FORECAST. ONLY SUSTAINED
MARINE WINDS OF SIGNIFICANCE CONTINUE TO BE OVER NORTHERN LYNN
CANAL, WHERE SMALL CRAFT CONDITIONS CONTINUED THROUGH THE NIGHT
AND ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. SHOULD SEE
WINDS UP THERE RELAX SOMEWHAT TONIGHT. NOT A LOT OF WIND IN
HAINES, BUT SKAGWAY HAS BEEN BREEZY WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH ALL
NIGHT AS WINDS FROM LYNN CANAL FUNNEL UP TAIYA INLET...AND WILL
CONTINUE TO DO SO THROUGH THE DAY TODAY. ELSEWHERE, 20 KTS OR LESS
ON THE OUTSIDE AND 15 KTS OR LESS ON THE INSIDE.
PATCHY FOG CONTINUES TO BE A CONCERN AND SEVERAL PLACES SAW
VISIBILITIES DOWN TO 1/2 MILE OR LESS OVERNIGHT. THAT SITUATION
SHOULD IMPROVE THROUGH THE MORNING, BUT FOG WILL RETURN AGAIN
TONIGHT UNDER LIGHT WINDS.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 1:57 PM AKDT on August 16, 2014
...More heavy rain to spread into northern panhandle Saturday
night to Sunday night...
Two separate trailing waves in the upper level flow will move
across the North Pacific and the Gulf Alaska then into the
Panhandle over the weekend. Each wave will be ushering in a pocket
of tropical moisture.
The first wave will be headed into the Yakutat region by Saturday
afternoon and overnight. Expecting between 2 and 4 inches of rain
over 36 hours in Yakutat. The Situk River is at 68.4 feet as of
Saturday afternoon and expect the rain to bring water levels back up
and may approach bankfull as the ground is already saturated.
A portion of the first feature will start to spread rain into the
coastal area around Cross Sound and the northern Panhandle
Saturday night. Heaviest rainfall for the northern Panhandle will
be Sunday morning and then continue into Sunday night when the
second of the features moves inland over the southeast Panhandle.
Rainfall amounts are expected to be around 2 inches for a 24 hour
period...with roughly 1 to 1.5 inches falling in a variable 12
hour period of Sunday and Sunday night. The region around
Wrangell and Petersburg will be the last areas to pick up the
heavier rains Sunday night.
The Taiya River near Skagway has fallen below bankfull and is
expected to rise again to above minor flood stage of 16.5 feet by
Sunday. Many of the small streams and rivers...including Montana
Creek in Juneau...will rapidly refill and approach bankfull levels
or possibly overflow as well. A Flood Advisory has been issued for
both the Taiya River near Skagway and for small stream around
Juneau for Sunday afternoon into Monday evening. Please refer to
these statements for more information.
This situation is being monitored closely by the Juneau forecast
office. Look for further updates and statements to be issued as
the event gets closer.
- 1353: NWS: The National Weather Service in Juneau
has issued an Urban and Small Stream Flood
Advisory for...Taiya River near Skagway and
Montana and Jordan creeks near Juneau until
6 PM ADT Monday.
NWS Areal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 1:53 PM AKDT on August 16, 2014
The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued an
* Urban and Small Stream Flood Advisory for...Taiya River near
Skagway and Montana and Jordan creeks near Juneau
* until 600 PM akdt Monday
* at 119 PM akdt...rainfall from Saturday night to Sunday night of 2
to 3 inches with higher amounts over windward higher terrain is
expected to fall. Rain rates will diminish on Sunday.
* This influx of heavy rainfall across the northern Panhandle will
once again cause the rivers to rise. The smaller streams will show
rapid increases in the water levels as the water flows through the
drainage basins and begin to over their banks around noon akdt
Sunday. The Taiya River is expected to crest at 16.6 feet
around 4 PM akdt Sunday afternoon before subsiding below flood
stage. The rivers flood stage is 16.5 feet. At this level of water
the first few miles of the Chilkoot Trail will have up to knee to
thigh deep water across the trail.
Around the Juneau area Montana Creek is expected to crest at 15.6
feet around 4 PM akdt Sunday afternoon. At this level 3 to 6 inches
of water will be flowing over the Montana Creek Road. The rivers
flood stage is 15.5 feet. Jordan creek is expected to crest at 9.9
feet around 4 PM akdt Sunday afternoon. The rivers flood stage is
9.7 feet. That water level on Jordan Creek will inundate Jordan
Squares parking lots with up to a foot of water and some residential
drives will be flooded and cut off. Montana Creek should subside
fairly quickly after the crest however Jordan Creek may take until
Monday afternoon to subside to bankfull levels.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
When the river gauge on Montana Creek reads 15 ft water will begin to
flow over the Montana Creek Road just before the gun range in the
Juneau area.
If you live near or along the Taiya River in Skagway or the Montana
and Jordan creeks in Juneau stay alert and be prepared to take
action.
The ongoing rains could swamp boats. Mariners should check their
vessels immediately.
Mudslides are possible in areas of steep terrain.
If flooding is observed act quickly. Move up to higher ground to
escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when
water begins to rise.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
Remain cautious when in low-lying areas...and report any minor
flooding to your law enforcement agency. They will relay your report
to the National Weather Service forecast office in Juneau.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 8:34 AM AKDT on August 09, 2014
...Wet weekend expected for the Panhandle...
Three to six inches of rain is expected to fall over Southeast
Alaska Saturday night and Sunday. Generally speaking between one
quarter and three quarters of an inch of rain has been reported
around the Panhandle since Friday. Rainfall intensity will increase
Saturday and the period of heaviest rain will be Saturday night and
Sunday morning.
Rivers and streams will be on the rise over the weekend. In
particular...the Taiya and Chilkat rivers may reach bankfull by
Sunday night. Another source of concern are some of the
smaller...faster responding creeks such as Montana Creek...and
Jordan Creek in Juneau...Staney Creek on Prince of Wales Island and
Indian River near Sitka which could show steep rises during heavier
periods of rain. People living along these waterways should remain
vigilant through the weekend. Prepare for rising water
levels...clear storm drains...and check that bilge pumps are working
on boats.
The rain is associated with a slow moving frontal system and an
unseasonably wet air mass streaming inland from the Pacific. Winds
may be gusty at times over the weekend. With three to six inches of
rain forecast over just a couple of days...small landslides are
possible Sunday and Monday in steeper terrain.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 1:52 PM AKDT on August 08, 2014
...Wet weekend expected for the Panhandle...
A wet front will be stalling over the Panhandle this weekend with
several disturbances riding along the front through early next
week. The rain will start up Friday night with around an inch of
rain expected through Saturday afternoon. Then a more vigorous wave
will move in Saturday afternoon and evening increasing rainfall rates.
These increased rainfall rates will continue through late Sunday
night as at least two more waves move into the Panhandle along the
stalled front. Total rainfall may be in the range of 3 to 6
inches by early Monday morning with periods of heavy rain.
Area rivers and streams will be monitored through the weekend as
the rain will produce rising water levels. Particularly...the
Taiya and Chilkat rivers which may reach bankfull by Sunday night.
