Special Weather Statement — Ketchikan Gateway Borough; Annette Island
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
A wet system is currently moving over the southern panhandle through
Monday, bringing an extended period of moderate to heavy rain for
the southern panhandle. Highest rain rates are expected through
early Monday morning, possibly reaching around 0.4 inches per hour
at times, primarily for Ketchikan, Metlakatla, and Misty Fjords. So
far around 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain has been observed in the last 6
hours, with amounts up to 2.25 inches in the surrounding higher
elevations. Rainfall totals could be as high as 2 to 3.5 inches by
Monday afternoon for low elevation sites with up to 4.5 inches in
the higher elevations. Moderate to high confidence for heavy rain
over Annette Island and Ketchikan areas with highest rain totals
near Misty Fjords. Small streams and rivers are starting to some
some rises, but no river flooding is expected at this time. Ponding
of water on some roadways is likely.
