Special Weather Statement issued September 26 at 12:29PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK A storm force low will impact the panhandle Monday and Tuesday with violent storm force winds for the outer coastal waters near Prince of Wales Island and severe gales for the southern inner channels. The initial front will move into the panhandle Monday, bringing rain rates as high as 0.4 to 0.7 inches every 6 hours, greater at elevation. The secondary front looks to have southwesterly gusts up to hurricane force south of the outer waters near Haida Gwaii. High land winds, falling trees, and dangerous marine conditions are all possible, with the highest likelihood in the southern panhandle. Certainty is high regarding the impacts of this system, but lower for the track. The likely solution, around 70%, is the low center will pass somewhere between Haida Gwaii and Prince of Wales Island; however, there is around a 30% chance of the low moving further north, impacting areas around Baranof Island. Stay tuned to updates from the National Weather Service regarding this evolving system.
