## extract

Special Weather Statement — Glacier Bay; Eastern Chichagof Island; Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait; City and Borough of Sitka; Admiralty Island; City and Borough of Juneau; Petersburg Borough; Western Kupreanof and Kuiu Island; Prince of Wales Island; City and Borough of Wrangell; Ketchikan Gateway Borough; Annette Island
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
A stronger system is expected to move into the panhandle Saturday
into Sunday, bringing periods of moderate to heavy rain. During the
peak of heavier rainfall during the overnight hours, rain rates
could exceed 0.15 inches per hour. Moderate to heavy rates are
expected to continue for any given location for a period of around
12-18 hours before decreasing. Total rainfall accumulations for the
event are expected between 1.5 - 3.0 inches, with greatest amounts
in the central panhandle. Upwards of 5 inches will be possible for
higher elevations. Due to the short nature of the heavier rainfall,
smaller creeks and streams will rise quickly, but are not expected
to flood.
