A stronger atmospheric river is expected to move over the panhandle
beginning early Thursday morning, continuing through Friday morning.
Multiple waves moving up will bring persistent moderate to heavy rain
for much of the southern half of the panhandle. Elevated gusty winds
are expected alongside this heavier rainfall on Thursday, with the
strongest winds expected Thursday night. Prolonged periods of
moderate to heavy rain will produce significant river rises with the
potential for at least minor flooding.

possible.

* WHERE...The following areas, Central Inner Channels, Southern Inner
Channels and Southeast Gulf Coast. This includes the cities of
Petersburg, Kake, Port Alexander, Craig, Klawock, Hydaburg, Coffman

* WHEN...From Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations.
Street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.
Isolated landslides are possible in areas of steep terrain.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rain totals between early Thursday morning and late Friday
morning for the Central Panhandle and Prince of Wales Island area
are still expected to be around 2 to 3.5 inches, with higher rain
totals favoring southern facing mountainsides. Highest rain rates
are currently expected during the late morning through evening
timeframe on Thursday, where rates could be as high as 0.25
