...HEAVY RAIN AND STRONG WINDS FRIDAY...
A storm force low pressure system will bring significant weather
to SE Alaska on Friday. Rainfall will begin Thursday evening along
the southern outer coast with a warm front, becoming heavy at
times as it spreads northward overnight. The cold front will be
stronger, moving inland west to east across the Panhandle Friday
morning. Rainfall rates will increase to around a half inch over
3 hours, for a total of 1 to 3 inches through Friday night.
A High Wind Warning is in effect for the Outer Coast from
Cape Fairweather to Cape Suckling. The rest of the outer coast and
locations near Clarence Strait will see a short period of strong
wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph out of the SE with the frontal
passage. Wind gusts of 40 to 45 mph are also forecast over the
remainder of the inner channels. Expect a wind shift to the SW
behind the front.
Due to the fast moving nature of this weather system and some
drying that has occurred during the day Thursday, flooding will
be limited. However, rapidly responding creeks and rivers will
likely reach bankfull or even approach minor flood stage for a
short period of time. Ponding of water on roadways is also likely.

...HEAVY RAIN WILL REMAIN OVER THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE THROUGH
MONDAY...
Heavy rain associated with an atmospheric river is affecting the
northern gulf coast this afternoon. The heavy rain will shift
over the northern half of the Panhandle through tonight and give a
break to the northeast Gulf Coast areas. The band of moisture
will continue to slide south into the central Panhandle as far
south as Sumner Strait by Sunday. The heavy rain will then drift
back north through Sunday night into Monday morning. The northern
inner channels will be out of the heavy rain by mid morning on
Monday but remain over the north Gulf Coast areas through Monday
night.
Highest totals are forecast to fall over the northeast gulf coast
from Yakutat Bay to Cross Sound. Expect from 2.5 to 6 inches at
lower elevations with up to 9 inches in the mountains. Major
rivers and streams in the northern Panhandle will rise
significantly with this much rain. Small, more quickly responding
streams will have rapid rises to near bankfull levels with a small
potential to reach minor flood stages on gauged streams.
The situation will be closely monitored as the weather system
develops. Updates will be provided as the event progresses and
more information becomes available.

...Heavy rains now expected over the northern Panhandle Saturday
through Monday...
Heavy rain associated with an atmospheric river began Friday
night and is now expected to continue through at least Monday
night. Rain will become heavy at times early on, first along the
northeast Gulf Coast, and then shift south to the northern half of
the Panhandle late Saturday night. The heaviest rains will
continue to shift south throughout Sunday morning, eventually
reaching as far south as Sumner Strait mid day before shifting
back north to the northeast Gulf Coast by late Sunday night. Heavy
rain will continue along the northern and northeast Gulf Coast
through Monday night.
Highest totals are forecast to fall over the northeast Gulf Coast
from Yakutat Bay to Cross Sound. Expect from 2.5 to 6 inches at
lower elevations with up to 9 inches in the mountains. Major
rivers and streams in the northern Panhandle will rise
significantly with this much rain. Small, more quickly responding
streams have the potential to rapidly rise to bankfull levels or
even minor flood stage.
The situation will be closely monitored as the weather system
develops. Updates will be provided as the event progresses and
more information becomes available.

...Heavy rains expected to fall over the northern Panhandle
Saturday to Sunday...
The start of an atmospheric river rushing out of the central
Pacific into the northeast Gulf Coast Saturday will continue
through the weekend and move east into the northern half of the
Panhandle. The best rainfall amounts should fall on mountains from
Yakutat to Cross Sound. Expected rain totals from Friday
afternoon to Sunday will yield totals at sea level ranging from
2.5 to 5 inches. Higher elevations can expect to see totals from 6
to 9 inches, during this time frame.
The major rivers and streams in the northern Panhandle should
rise significantly with the added rain on the wet ground. Small
quicker reacting streams have the potential to rise quickly and
possibly reach bankfull levels or even minor flood stage.
The situation will be monitored as the weather system develops and
updates will be provided when we have new information to share.

- NWS Summary of September 2018 Weather in
Southeast Alaska:
...Extraordinarily dry across Southeast Alaska for September 2018...
September of 2018 will be long remembered for unusually pleasant
weather with summer-like daytime highs, cooler than normal overnight
lows, and plenty of sunshine. The month will also be remembered as
exceptionally dry. During what is supposed to be one of Southeast
Alaska's wettest months, all reporting stations recorded below
normal precipitation. Three sites (Klawock, Haines, and Juneau)
recorded all time record low September precipitation. The end of
September also marks the end of the "water year", which begins in
October of one year and runs to the end of September the following
year. With record low precipitation totals both in October of 2017
and September 2018, the water year totals for Southeast Alaska range
from only 60 to 87 percent of normal. Klawock, Petersburg, and
Haines all reported their lowest water year totals on record.
Additionally, the southern half of the Panhandle has been under
moderate drought conditions since mid July. As the precipitation
deficit increased in September, the southern zones were recently re-
classified as being in a severe drought. This has, as far as we can
tell, never happened before and does not bode well for the Tongass
rainforest, the communities that rely on plentiful water for
hydroelectric power generation, or Southeast fisheries.
With the seasonal climate prediction for the remainder of Autumn
calling for continued warmer than normal and drier than normal
conditions across Southeast Alaska, relief is not currently in sight.
