Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to continue through this
evening 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 for areas outside
the flood watch.
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 central gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check
back for more updates through the weekend.
