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.
