A strong low pressure system will move out of the North Pacific

Tuesday through Wednesday with strong winds, high seas and heavy

The strongest winds are expected over the gulf and coastal

from 40 to 50 mph Tuesday. The inner channel marine areas may see
the strongest winds in east/west channels with the exception to
the southern half where it could be near gale force from the
southeast. Once the front moves into Canada, a ridge of high
pressure will build over the forecast area with a surge of south
winds through Wednesday across the entire Panhandle.
The front will also draw plenty of moisture from the sub-tropics.
Rain will develop through Tuesday across the area becoming heavy
at times Tuesday night. Rain amounts across the region will range
from 1 to 3 inches through Thursday morning.

...Strong front to affect the Panhandle and Gulf
Tuesday/Wednesday...
A late season strong low pressure system is forecasted to move out
of the North Pacific and into the Gulf of Alaska through Tuesday.
The associated weather front will impact the Panhandle and eastern
Gulf from Tuesday through Wednesday with strong winds, high seas
and heavy rain.
At this time the strongest winds will be over the Gulf and coastal
locations. Confidence is increasing that southeast winds will be
max gales to near storm force winds over the eastern Gulf with
sea heights from 15 to 19 ft. The coastal land areas could see
strong winds with gusts from 40 to 50 mph Tuesday. The inner
channels marine areas may see the strongest winds in east/west
channels with the exception to the southern half where it could be
near gale force levels from the Southeast. Once the front moves
into Canada a ridge of high pressure will build over the forecast
area with a surge of south winds through Wednesday across the
entire Panhandle.
The front will also bring in ample amount of moisture from the
sub-tropics. Rain will develop through Tuesday across the area
becoming heavy at times Tuesday night. Rain amounts across the
region will range from 1 to 2.5 inches of rain through Wednesday.
This statement will be updated at 4 PM AKDT Sunday or sooner if
conditions warrant.

- Editor (me): As far as I'm concerned the Real-ID
Act is unconstitutional (the right to travel
without interference from the government
being just one of the issues); why the American
people love to give the government so much
power and control I have no idea. In Juneau
there will be no way to travel out of town
with the odious invasive requirements of
Real ID, or a Passport (in our own country!)
being in place and enforced. Add to that
the facial recognition systems being implemented
and we are also living in a surveillance
state.

- Contrary to the writer's assertion, it was environmentalists
with their countless lawsuits, and new regulations
(higher costs) that killed logging in SE
Alaska; as far as "lower-quality"
timber is concerned, loggers were prevented
from accessing the more profitable timber
and the higher costs imposed from regulations
made the lower quality uneconomic. The Tongass
was being managed under sustained yield by
the U.S.D.A. Forest Service by professional
foresters until wilderness and preservation
was deemed more important than the wood products
industry.

- NWS Summary of March 2017 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...A Snowy end to Winter and beginning of Spring...
March was noteworthy for some very heavy snowfall that began in the
waning hours of February 28th and continued for nearly the entire
first half of the month. A multi-day winter storm warning for the
Juneau area produced 16.9 inches of new snow at the Forecast Office
before stopping late in the night of the 13th. Heavy snow began once
again on the 15th and resulted in additional winter weather
advisories and warnings for the northern panhandle. What was most
unusual about these snow events is that they were not followed
immediately by low level warm air advection and a transition from
snow to rain. In fact, an extended cold outflow event followed the
first major snow event which allowed snow to remain on the ground
and present a true winter scene over most of the Panhandle.
At least four unplanned avalanches reported with three in the Juneau
area and one in the Sitka area.
Bitterly cold temperatures also resulted in a protracted wind chill
advisory for the Klondike Highway as well as periods of heavy
freezing spray for several of the inner channels.
With the equinox on the 20th of March and the true beginning of
Spring, temperatures moderated a little with more rain and less
snow, particularly over the southern Panhandle, but accumulating
snow lasted over northern and central portions of the Panhandle
through the end of the month.
In spite of the all the March snow, the month broke no monthly
snowfall records in Yakutat, Juneau, or Annette Island which ranked
40th, 8th and 2nd snowiest, respectively.
