...HEAVY RAIN EXPECTED THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

Through Friday morning, a series of fronts will bring multiple
rounds of moderate to heavy rainfall across the Alaska Panhandle.
The first ongoing front is expected to bring 1 to 1.5 inches of rain
to the northern half of the panhandle today. The second round of
heavy rain is expected to bring an additional 0.5 to 1.5 inches
tonight into Friday morning, with the higher end QPF amounts
expected for Baranof and Admiralty Islands. More localized lower or
higher amounts are possible due to terrain effects. A brief lull in
the heavier precipitation amounts is expected during the afternoon
hours today.

Even higher rain amounts are possible for parts of the central
panhandle associated with the front tonight as its low develops
inland and moves northward, though there is still a lack of
confidence on the exact location of these higher rates. As of now,
the highest amounts are expected to move into southern Baranof
Island up into Stephens Passage, though some elevated rainfall
amounts may still reach Sitka and other parts of the central and
northern panhandle.

While these forecasted rain amounts are expected to bring rises to
small creeks and rivers in the area, there is no flooding
anticipated at this time.
