...WEATHER SYSTEMS TO BRING HEAVY RAIN AND WIND TUESDAY AFTERNOON
THROUGH THURSDAY...

Beginning Tuesday afternoon, a pair of systems will move into the
panhandle, bringing with them windy conditions and heavy rain at
times. The first system will arrive Tuesday evening with gusty
winds up to 40 to 50 mph to parts of the southern panhandle and
outer coast that will last most of the night. Winds increase along
the coast after 4pm and spread into the inner channels through
evening. Expect the winds to diminish after 3 am Wednesday.
Rainfall with this system will be around three quarters of an
to one inch.

System number two will be arriving late Wed night, and is
expected to have more rain then wind. The band of rain is expected
to persist through Thursday before then moving east Thursday
night and weakening. The rainfall will also be aimed mostly at the
northern half of the panhandle with the heaviest rainfall
expected to be across the NE Gulf Coast and Glacier Bay area.
Most stations have a greater than 60 percent chance of over 1
inch with a few having at least 20 percent chance of exceeding 2
inches north of Frederick Sound. River levels are still currently
low from the recent dry weather last month so we are expecting
some river rises across the northern panhandle, but no flooding at
this time.
