* Between 1010 & 1110 on Feb. 3rd communication was lost between my weather intruments and receiver, and my station was instead receiving data from a

quantify how many more miles of wind run and increase in the average wind speed there was from the one hour of erroneous data.

711 AM AKST Sun Feb 25 2018
...A STORM FORCE WEATHER FRONT WILL AFFECT THE PANHANDLE MONDAY...
A considerable front will affect the Panhandle Monday. Winds,
Seas, snowfall amounts, and blowing snow will all be impactful.
Expect winds to increase through the day Monday with storm force
winds in the eastern Gulf waters and Cross Sound late Monday
morning and early Monday afternoon. Strong gales associated with
the front will also be present over the rest of the Gulf waters
and spanning the inner channels from Cross Sound through and
including Lynn Canal. Seas will build over the Gulf considerably
into Tuesday afternoon with 20 to 30 ft seas expected over the
gulf waters before they begin to subside Tuesday evening.
Land winds will be gusty as the front approaches and with
potential strong southeast winds for the majority of the
Panhandle. Westerly winds will also be enhanced through the Icy
Strait corridor. Land winds will slowly diminish tomorrow night
behind the front.
Currently snowfall totals for all of Monday range from less than 1
inch south of Sumner Strait to 4 to 8 inches near Yakutat,
Pelican, Haines, Skagway, and Juneau. As the front comes ashore
with snowfall coupled with stronger winds will create conditions
that are favorable for blowing snow, specifically over the
northern Panhandle.
Primary impacts with this system will be: difficult marine
travel, significantly reduced visibilities during periods of heavy
snow, and difficult land and aviation travel during heavier
periods of snow.

WHERE....Juneau and Douglas
Warmer than expected temperatures prevented heavy snow from
forming. Precipitation fell as rain, or a mix of rain and snow
over most of the warning area. Rain and snow showers will continue
through the morning with little to no snow accumulation expected.
This will be the final statement on this event.

- Hypocrites. Since they now believe in censoring art
(for the first time ever); when is the CBJ
going to remove the public tax monies granted
to JAHC? I have always believed though that
taxpayer money should never go to finance
anyone's or any organization's artistic or
free speech expressions (including public
broadcasting) because of things just like
this. 90% or more of Perseverance Theater's
productions have offended me and I have no
right to censor them; but it is unconscionable
to me that my tax dollars taken under government
mandate are given to finance an organization
that attacks my morals, my beliefs, and my
religion. Liberals ("progressives")
object to federal spending on the military
(and/or its scope of activities)... but that
is one of the few constitutionally provided
for expenditures and original reasons the
Federal government was formed.

...SIGNIFICANT RAIN-OVER-SNOW EVENT EXPECTED MONDAY INTO TUESDAY
OVER THE PANHANDLE...
A warm moist frontal band will move east over the Gulf of Alaska
and bring mainly rain to the Southeast Alaska panhandle Monday
through Tuesday. Much of Southeast Alaska is reporting snow on
the ground, and as rain falls over snowy or ice-covered surfaces,
very slick conditions will likely develop. Expected breezy
conditions in some areas during much of the period may hinder
pedestrians walking across snowy or icy surfaces.
Precipitation is expected to start in Yakutat by early Monday
morning and will spread to the rest of the Panhandle through
Monday night before exiting the Panhandle to the east on Tuesday.
Heaviest precipitation rates will be Monday afternoon for Yakutat
and Monday night for other areas. Temperatures will warm steadily
with this front, thus the primary precipitation type will be
rain, but we can not rule out at least a mix with snow at the
beginning of the event on Monday with light snow accumulations
possible.
Early estimates of rainfall are 1 to 3 inches between Monday and
Tuesday. However, rivers and streams are reporting low water
levels so the threat of flooding is low. Both rising snow levels
in the mountains and snow melt due to warming will increase the
amount of runoff to drainage areas and streams. Clearing storm
drains before the storm arrives will help rid streets of excess
water and minimize impacts.

...Significant Rain event expected Monday night to Tuesday over

A frontal band will move east over the Gulf of Alaska and to the
Southeast Alaska panhandle late Monday. The long fetch of
moisture from the central Pacific will bring in warm moist air
across the region as well. A developing wave on the front will
slow down the passage through the Panhandle and allow more
rain to spread across our region.
Early estimates of rainfall are between 1 and 3 inches between late
Monday night into Tuesday. Much of this rain will fall on snow
covered grounds and terrain, and will be accompanied by a rise in
snow levels in the mountains. Rivers and streams are reporting

- NWS Summary of January 2018 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...EXTREME TEMPERATURE VARIABILITY IN JANUARY 2018...
JANUARY OF 2018 WAS PARTICULARLY NOTEWORTHY FOR SOME DRAMATIC
TEMPERATURE SWINGS. MOST LOCATIONS WENT FROM BEING WELL BELOW NORMAL
TO HAVING RECORD WARMTH IN A MATTER OF ONLY 4 DAYS AROUND THE MIDDLE
OF THE MONTH. DURING THIS TIME, PARTS OF SOUTHEAST ALASKA WERE
WARMER THAN KEY WEST FLORIDA. NUMEROUS SITES POSTED DAILY HIGHS IN
THE LOW 60S. THE TEMPERATURE AT ANNETTE ISLAND ROSE TO 66 DEGREES ON
THE 14TH OF THE MONTH, AND METLAKATLA ACHIEVED THE SAME TEMPERATURE
THE FOLLOWING DAY. THE 67 DEGREES RECORDED AT THE KETCHIKAN TIDE
GAUGE ON THE 14TH OF THE MONTH SET AN ALL-TIME RECORD HIGH FOR THE
STATE OF ALASKA FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY. ANOTHER INTERESTING FACT
ABOUT THESE EXTRORDINARY TEMPERATURES IS THAT, ON MORE THAN ONE
OCCASION, THE DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE OCCURRED IN THE LATE EVENING OR
DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. IN ALL, 39 RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES WERE
RECORDED ACROSS THE PANHANDLE BETWEEN THE 14TH AND THE 18TH OF THE
MONTH.
THE MONTH BEGAN WITH A SIGNIFICANT NEW YEAR`S DAY SNOW EVENT FOR
MANY LOCATIONS, WITH HEAVY RAIN PREDOMINANTLY TO THE SOUTH. THE
FOLLOWING DAY, SIGNIFICANTLY WARMER AIR SPREAD NORTH, RESULTING IN
HEAVY RAIN OVER MUCH OF THE NEWLY FALLEN SNOW. TEMPERATURES THEN
FELL WELL BELOW NORMAL AT THE START OF THE SECOND WEEK. A SECOND
SIGNIFICANT SNOW EVENT OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE RECORD
WARMTH THAT OCCURRED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE MONTH. ONCE AGAIN,
WARM POST-FRONTAL AIR AND CONTINUING PRECIPITATION WITH THIS SYSTEM
IN THE FORM OF RAIN ASSISTED IN MELTING NEW SNOW. BY THE THIRD WEEK
OF JANUARY, TEMPERATURES BEGAN TO TREND DOWNWARD AS A RESULT OF HIGH
PRESSURE OVER WESTERN CANADA AND LOWER PRESSURES OVER THE GULF OF
ALASKA, LEADING TO STRONG NORTHERLY OUTFLOW WINDS. HIGH WINDS
OCCURRED IN DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AND SKAGWAY WITH STORM FORCE WINDS AND
FREEZING SPRAY OVER LYNN CANAL. THIS PATTERN CONTINUED TO DELIVER
RELATIVELY DRY, COLD, AND WINDY CONDITIONS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
PANHANDLE INTO THE FOURTH AND FINAL WEEK OF THE MONTH.
