Description:
A low pressure system will bring increased moisture toward Yakutat
and the northern gulf coast this weekend. This event will not be
long in duration, lasting around 24 to 48 hours. It will bring
heavy rain during most of the event, with the most likely scenario
being 2 to 3 inches of rain over 24 hours. There is a 60% chance
of greater than 2 inches in 24 hours and similarly a 60% chance of
greater than 3 inches of rain in 48 hours. That being said, no
flooding is expected at this time. There is likely to be rises in
river levels, but soil moisture is still low (around 50% to 60%).
This means that most of the rain will be absorbed into the ground.
We will continue to monitor the development of this system and
any possible impacts.
