...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY EVENING...

An atmospheric river with multiple surges of moisture has moved
into the panhandle and is possible to last into Sunday evening.
Precipitation has mostly transitioned to rain past the Icy Strait
corridor, and is still expected to transition for the northern inner
channels overnight Friday. Snow levels are roughly 1500 to 2500 feet
above sea level along the Icy Strait corridor through the southern
panhandle. A brief, distinct lull in heavy rainfall is expected
overnight Friday night into Saturday morning for the southern half
of the panhandle, before another surge of moderate to heavy rain.
Additional rainfall amounts from Friday night through Saturday night
look to range around 1.5 to 3.0 inches in the southern panhandle,
including Ketchikan and Metlakatla, 1.0 to 2.0 inches for the
central inner channels including Petersburg, Wrangell, and Kake,
0.75 to 1.5 inches for the Icy Strait corridor, 1.0 to 2.0 for the
Juneau area, and 1.0 to 1.5 inches for the far northern inner
channels near sea level.

Currently, expecting the snowpack to absorb most rainfall from this
weekend system and produce minimal runoff in the northern half of
the panhandle with a deep sea level snowpack. Therefore, snow, ice,
or other debris could potentially block storm drains and allow for
ponding of rain and snowmelt in areas that they normally would not
collect, such as roadways or walkways.

Another surge of moisture is looking increasingly likely for the
southern half of the panhandle overnight Saturday and continuing
through Sunday, and therefore, the flood watch was extended. There
is growing confidence that very strong rain rates during the morning
hours for the Ketchikan, Metlakatla, and Prince of Wales Island,
with around a 40-60% chance for 3 hour rates exceeding 0.4 inches.
This surge in precipitation may coincide with another surge of wind
gusts, with sea level gusts possibly reaching as high as 50 mph
Sunday evening. The southern panhandle could see 1.5 to 3.0
additional inches, the central inner channels could receive 1.0 to
2.0 additional inches, the Icy Strait corridor could receive 0.75 to
1.5 additional inches, and the Juneau area could receive 1.5 to 2.5
additional inches. Stay tuned for more information.

* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...The following areas, Eastern Gulf Coast and Central Inner
Channels. This includes the cities of Gustavus, Hoonah, Tenakee
Springs, Elfin Cove, Pelican, Angoon, And Juneau.

* WHEN...Through Saturday evening.

* IMPACTS...Storm drains and ditches are clogged with snow that may
cause ponding of water in these poor drainage areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Around 0.75" to 1.50" of rain occurred today along the Icy
Strait corridor and Juneau area. Numerous reports of ongoing
flooding over roadways and parking lots due rain and runoff
across the Juneau and Hoonah areas today. Heavy rain will
continue to fall on the existing snowpack which lead to
increased runoff and ponding of water in poor drainage areas
during the watch time frame. Through Saturday evening, an
additional 0.75 to 1.25 inches for the Icy Strait corridor,
with localized higher amounts possible, especially for
Juneau. Depending on how culverts and storm drains behave
during this upcoming rain, along with the additional rainfall
of around 0.75 to 2.5 inches, with higher amounts near
Juneau, the flood watch may be extended into Sunday.

Information:

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.

Flooding may occur in poor drainage areas.

Storm drains should be kept clear of debris as much as possible.

Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,
television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.
