Hydrologic Outlook issued October 12 at 10:07AM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK

ESFAJK An atmospheric river will move into the region Thursday, driving heavy rain across much of the Panhandle into the weekend. However, areas south of Frederick Sound will likely see the heaviest rain. Anticipate 24 hour rainfall amounts to reach 3 to 5 inches at sea level for many communities south of Frederick Sound, with localized areas near Ketchikan and Misty Fjords closer to 4 to 6 inches, especially in the mountains. At this time, the primary threat is many rivers and streams reaching bankfull conditions with ponding of water on roads and areas of poor drainage. Mariners, check those bilge pumps. Significant rises and flooding in rivers is possible but at this time there exists large variability in how rain develops and persists across the southern Panhandle. Stay tuned to weather.gov/juneau as we continue to assess the situation and make updates to the forecast.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
