NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 10:52 PM AKST on November 27, 2015
...Heavy rainfall expected through Sunday...
Storm total rainfall through Sunday afternoon will range from
3 to 6 inches with locally higher amounts possible.
A weather front will slow as it approaches the Panhandle tonight
and eventually stall through the weekend. The result will be a
prolonged rain event...with heavy rain rates at times...through
Sunday. Light rain has already begun across the northern and
central Inner Channels as well as the eastern Gulf Coast. Rain
will become heavier overnight Friday and will persist over most
areas through Sunday. In addition...snow levels will rise to over
5000 feet along the coast and into Kupreanof Island with levels
rising from 2500 to 3500 feet from Angoon to Juneau to Haines.
Streams and rivers...while fairly low at the present time...
will rise with the added rainfall and rising snow levels.
Currently no flooding is being forecast...but this will be
monitored closely over the course of the event and adjustments to
the hydrological forecasts will be made as needed.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 5:49 AM AKST on November 27, 2015
...Heavy rainfall expected through Sunday...
Storm totals rainfall through Sunday afternoon will range from 3
to 6 inches with locally higher amounts possible.
A blocking ridge across the Panhandle will slow the eastward
progress of a front currently located over the central Gulf.
The associated southerly flow pattern will result in high snow
levels producing a prolonged heavy rain event. The rain will not
start up until Friday afternoon or evening with the heaviest
rains expected Fri night into Sunday. Blended total precipitable
water satellite imagery is indicating as much as 1.5 inches of
precipitable water associated with this front...which is around
twice the normal amount for this time of the year.
Streams and rivers...while fairly low at the present time...will
rise with the heavy rain, currently...no flooding is being
forecast...but this will be monitored closely over the course of
the event and adjustments to the hydrological forecasts will be
made as needed.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 6:05 AM AKST on November 25, 2015
...Heavy rainfall expected Thursday through Sunday...
A blocking ridge across the Panhandle will slow the eastward
progress of a front currently located over the central Gulf.
The associated southerly flow pattern will result in prolonged
heavy rains beginning Thursday afternoon and lasting through
Sunday morning with the area of heaviest rain moving slowly east
and south down the Panhandle. Blended tpw satellite imagery is
indicating as much as 2 inches of precipitable water...which is
more than twice the normal amount for this time of the year.
Storm totals between Thursday morning and Sunday morning range
from 4 to 6 inches with up to 10 inches of rain possible.
Warm low level air associated with the front will drive snow
levels up above 3000 feet causing this to be primarily a rain
event. Streams and rivers...while fairly low at the present
time...will rise with the heavy rain, currently...no flooding is
being forecast...but this will be monitored closely over the
course of the event and adjustments to the hydrological forecasts
will be made as needed.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 6:12 PM AKST on November 23, 2015
...Widespread fog event possible Tuesday through Thanksgiving
day...
Warm air aloft spreading across a cold moistening surface will aid
in the development of fog and low stratus across the central and
southern Panhandle from Tuesday through Thanksgiving day. The fog
will result in reduced visibility for motorists and mariners. In
addition...areas of dense fog could impact air travel.
This statement will be updated at 4 PM akst Tuesday or sooner if

- 1213: NWS: Widespread Fog Event possible Tuesday
night through Thanksgiving day.
NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 12:13 PM AKST on November 23, 2015
...Widespread fog event possible Tuesday night through
Thanksgiving day...
The fog will reduce visibilities for drivers...mariners...and
pedestrians. The cooler temperatures overnight could allow
accumulation of frost on surfaces making them slippery for walking
or driving. Areas of black ice are also possible.
Caution is advised due to poor visibilities and slick surfaces.
Please allow additional time to safely reach destinations.
Development of dense fog across the region could affect air
travel.
This is due to a high pressure ridge building over Southeast
Alaska Monday and holding in place through the Thanksgiving day
Holiday. The light winds under the ridge with a warm layer aloft
will stabilize the lower levels resulting in prime conditions to
form fog across Southeast Alaska and maintain its presence.
A more active weather pattern is expected to move into Southeast
Alaska by the weekend ending the threat of prolonged fog.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:14 PM AKST on November 10, 2015
...Strong storm Wednesday night and Thursday...
A strong low pressure system is forecast to move east across the
northern Gulf Wednesday through Thursday. A storm force front
will impact the coastal waters Wednesday night...while a second
area of storm force winds spreads east across the Gulf behind the
front Thursday. In addition...seas over the Gulf will range from
30 to 40 feet by Thursday afternoon. Southerly gale force winds
will also be possible over the inside channels...and gusts from 40
to 55 mph are likely for many coastal and inner channel
communities.
Locally heavy rain is also expected as the front moves across the
Panhandle on Thursday which may cause local rivers and streams to
rise. However, since the front is moving through quickly no
flooding is expected at this time. In addition...winter storm
watches have been issued for the Haines and Klondike highways late
Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

Southeast Alaska this week.
NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 1:34 PM AKST on November 09, 2015
...Multiple storm systems will impact Southeast Alaska this
week...
A frontal boundary over the central Gulf Monday is forecast to
continue moving slowly to the south through Tuesday afternoon. A
very moist airmass with a long southwesterly fetch associated
with this front will produce periods of heavy rainfall over the
southern half of the Panhandle into Tuesday afternoon. 24 hour
forecast totals from Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon
range from slightly more than a third of an inch to nearly 3
inches...with higher amounts possible. The heaviest rains and
highest totals are expected to be south of Frederick Sound and
east of Chatham Strait.
Southeast Alaska creeks...streams...and rivers are beginning this
rain event at relatively low stage levels but are forecast to rise
significantly over the next 24 hours. Smaller systems will be
quicker to respond and rise more rapidly than the larger rivers.
No flooding is expected at this time.
Later this week...a strong low pressure system is forecast to
bring more heavy rain to Southeast Alaska. Rainfall totals for
this system from Wednesday evening through late Friday night range
from 2 to 4 inches with totals more evenly spread across the
Panhandle. Area creeks and streams will have recovered somewhat
from the first system but will still be elevated above normal by
the time heavy rain returns.
Additionally...this second system will produce near storm force
pre-frontal winds over the northern coastal marine zones and
Inner Channels late in the day Wednesday through Wednesday night.
Post frontal southwesterly winds will be nearly as strong over a
large portion of the eastern Gulf Thursday into Thursday night
with seas building to greater than 30 feet. Strong winds and wind
gusts for a majority of Southeast Alaska are likely and high wind
warnings have not been ruled out as of yet.
Finally...heavy snow is possible at higher elevations along the
Haines and Klondike highways with the second of these two heavy
precipitation event.

Special Statement
Statement as of 5:13 AM AKST on November 09, 2015
...Multiple storm systems will impact the Panhandle this week...
A frontal boundary over the central Gulf Monday morning is
forecast to stall over the central coast Monday night. As this
occurs...a moist airmass will spread across the southern
Panhandle resulting in heavy rainfall. Water levels are currently
low for area creeks...streams...and rivers. However...rainfall
totals from two to three inches will result in rises by late
Monday night into Tuesday morning.
A strong low pressure system is then forecast to move east across
the northern Gulf on Thursday. Gale strength winds will impact the
outside and southern inside waters...and strong wind gusts will
be probable for many coastal and inner channel communities. In
addition...heavy snow is possible at higher elevations along the
Haines and Klondike highways.
