Additionally, between one and two feet of new snow is forecast at higher elevations along the Klondike Highway. Snow level will be high enough that this will be primarily a rain event for the Haines Highway and solely a rain event for lower elevations near sea level. At this time, snow levels are not expected to rise significantly in the wake of this precipitation event, so excessive high elevation snowmelt and the attendant risk of flooding is not currently a concern.

Warm summer-like temperatures did not last long into September for Southeast Alaska, but there were some records set. In the first week of the month, temperatures rose to the mid 70s and even the low 80s at spots from one end of the panhandle to the other. High temperature records were set in Sitka, Annette, Ketchikan, Klawock, and Yakutat. For the remainder of the month, daily highs and lows trended around normal values with some non-record breaking excursions above an below normal in the second and third weeks as well as the very last few days of the month. Heavy rain fell during the first week of the month and then again during the fourth week as a result of two atmospheric river events. Here too there were some daily records set for multi-inch daily values. Flood advisories were issued for the Taiya River near Skagway during both atmospheric river events and the Labor day weekend was particularly wet with anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain recorded across the Panhandle on the 4th of September. In spite of the bookend atmospheric river heavy rain events, most locations recorded near normal monthly accumulated precipitation. One notable exception was Sitka, which came in well above normal for total rainfall with over 15 inches of rain. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mon. 10/02/17: 0630: Now Available: The September 2017 Monthly Report, and the updated Weather Database | Sometime between 1800 and 1817 the lights for the Aquileans came on 2020 ADT: Light - Very Light Rain, Cloudy. .05" of Rainfall to this point today. 2012: Rain, Cloudy.

My Dad was a Contracting Officer for over 20 years with the U.S. Forest Service and there was a reason the laws for government contracting were universally written to award contracts to the lowest responsive bidder because of a long history of rampant cronyism, corruption, and political abuses of the prior system. The competitive low bid system rewards innovation and efficiency in the means of delivering a project through many contractors having the opportunity in an open marketplace to bid. And yes I objected to the contracting for the SLAM building and the two new Alaska Class Ferries. We have no idea if we got a good deal on those or got taken to the cleaners because they were not bid competitively. The key with low bid contracts is to have quality bidding documents and to inspect, inspect, inspect.
