.A series of low pressures will move through the panhandle this
weekend bringing prolonged rain combined with high freezing levels to
increase ice melt on glacier river systems. The heavy rainfall and
associated runoff will produce significant river rises with the
potential of minor flooding.

...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH LATE SUNDAY
NIGHT...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Including the following area, Northern Inner Channels. This
includes the cities of Skagway, White Pass, And Haines.
* WHEN...From late Saturday night through late Sunday night.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- A series of lows will bring a prolonged period of rain combined
with warmer temperatures aloft allowing for any precipitation
falling into the region to remain as rain. Current thinking is
that the rain will continue this evening into Saturday before a
second, stronger system moves in for Saturday into Sunday.
Between the two systems, the flow is expected to remain onshore
keeping moisture moving into the area.
For the Skagway area, 24 hour precip looks to get up to 1 to 2
inches this weekend while the storm total amounts could be 2 to 4
inches. The Haines area is expected to see 0.75 to 1.5 inches in
24 hours while a storm total precipitation of 2 to 3.5 inches is
possible.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,
television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.
Persons living along streams should stay alert and be prepared to
take action if a warning or advisory is issued, or flooding is
observed.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.

1129 AM AKDT Fri Sep 18 2026
...STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND...
Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to start later today and
last
through the weekend as multiple strong low pressure systems move
into the northern gulf. These lows will bring multiple days of
moderate to heavy rain, with around 1.5 to 3 inches of rain every 24
hours. Some areas, especially near Yakutat and along the gulf coast,
could see localized areas reach around 4 inches of rain in 24 hours.
Heaviest rain rates are anticipated late Saturday into Sunday with
hourly rates of 0.15 to 0.3 inches possible. This heavy rain will
likely cause rapid river rises along smaller rivers and streams, but
no flooding is expected at this time.
Along with this heavy rain, increased winds are highly likely across
the area. Strongest winds are anticipated to occur late Saturday
into Sunday with 30 to 40 kts, gusts to 50 kts across the gulf and
20 to 35 kts, gusts around 40 to 50 kts across the northern inner
channels. Land winds will also increase, with areas especially along
the gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for
more updates through the weekend.
