...HEAVY RAIN AFFECTING NORTHERN SOUTHEAST ALASKA...

A weather front with abundant rainfall and gusty winds will
spread heavy rain over the northern and central Panhandle through
Monday evening. Area creeks, streams and rivers will experience
rises as a result. Some of the more rapidly responding waterways
are likely to reach bankfull. Additionally, ponding of water on
roadways is likely and drainage culverts will fill. However, due
to the quick passage of the atmospheric river, no significant
flooding is currently expected.

Boat owners are encouraged to check their vessels during this
event in order to prevent excessive amounts of water from
collecting in bilges. Residents are encouraged to keep track of
changing conditions and to report any flooding to law enforcement
and the local National Weather Service office in Juneau.

...HEAVY RAIN AND WIND TO AFFECT SOUTHEAST ALASKA THROUGH MONDAY
NIGHT...

A fast moving weather front with abundant rainfall and wind will
move over Southeast Alaska beginning Sunday night and spread heavy
rain from northwest to southeast through Monday night. Storm
totals from this event range from a quarter inch over the southern
portions of the Panhandle to more than 3 inches over the
northeast Gulf coast.

Area creeks, streams, and rivers will experience rises as a
result. Some of the more rapidly responding waterways are likely
to reach bank full. Additionally, ponding of water on roadways is
likely and drainage culverts will fill. However, due to quick
passage of the atmospheric river through the Panhandle, no
significant flooding is currently expected.

Wind gusts of 40 to 55 mph are possible through the northern
inner channels of the Panhandle with the strong winds expected
near Lynn Canal on Monday.

Boat owners are encouraged to check their vessels and small craft
during this event in order to prevent excessive amounts of water
from collecting in bilges.

Residents are encouraged to keep track of changing conditions and
to report any potential flooding to law enforcement and the local
National Weather Service office in Juneau.

NWS Summary of July 2018 Weather in Southeast Alaska:

...Warmer and drier than normal across Southeast Alaska in July...

Summer continued in earnest for July of 2018 all across the
Panhandle with the monthly average temperature departure ranging
from 2 degrees to nearly 6 degrees above normal. From a climate
perspective, that is A LOT. Numerous sites across Southeast Alaska
recorded a top 10 month for average temperature and Juneau recorded
the warmest July on record. Above normal conditions occurred during
the first week of the month with some really fine weather - clear
and dry - for 4th of July celebrations. Central inner channels and
southern locations saw a return to decidedly warmer than normal
conditions towards the end of the third week of the month with the
warmth lasting through the end of July. Record warm daytime highs
were set in both Juneau and Ketchikan during this time.

The month was also drier than normal. The second week of July
usually marks a distinct return to more rainy conditions to
Southeast Alaska and this year was no exception. Most locations saw
meaningful rain return by the 10th of July. However, by the 16th of
the month, things dried out once again and relatively little rain
accumulated during the second half of the month. Instead, sunny and
hot conditions prevailed. Total precipitation deficits ranged from
12 percent below normal along the northeast Gulf coast to 82 percent
below normal for the southern Panhandle.

The warmer than normal conditions produced excessive snow and ice
melt at higher elevations which contributed to at least two
glacially dammed lake releases. Lakes feeding into the Taku River
released at least once during the month, but water levels were low
enough at the start of the event that no flooding occurred. Suicide
Basin near Juneau released into Mendenhall Lake on the 19th of July
and caused some flooding along the Mendenhall River. Initial
concerns were that this flooding would turn into a record event
based on the estimated water amount in the basin. The actual crest
was 10.92 feet, a bit more than a foot less than the record of
11.99 feet set in 2016.
