...WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAIN TO IMPACT PANHANDLE TUESDAY TO THURSDAY...
        
Ex Typhoon Bolaven will move into the Gulf of Alaska Tuesday 
morning, bringing widespread heavy rain with strong to high winds 
Tuesday afternoon through Thursday. While confidence on the exact 
track and extent of the extratropical cyclone remains below average, 
confidence of anomalously high precipitation and strong winds 
impacting the Panhandle is high.

Main threats to the region include a rise in rivers, streams, and 
creeks beginning Tuesday night into Friday morning as the long 
duration rainfall event moves over Southeast Alaska. Strong winds 
from this storm combined with saturated soils will also bring 
concerns for tree falls, mainly along river banks at this time. Care 
should be taken now to test bilge pumps and make vessels ready for 
long periods of heavy rain.

This is a evolving and changing situation. Stay tuned the National 
Weather Service for updates at weather.gov/Juneau and on social 
media.
