Juneau is looking particularly fine today, with the big storm having gone well to the south. #Alaska

The national weather service is predicting a hurricane-force storm for us on Monday, but for the moment, sunset rainbow. #Alaska

Special Weather Statement issued September 28 at 2:46PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK Additional Details Here.

A storm force front will impact the panhandle Monday and Tuesday
with violent storm force winds for the outer coastal waters along
the coast and gales for the southern inner channels. The initial
front will move into the panhandle Monday, bringing rain rates as
high as 0.4 to 0.7 inches every 6 hours, greater at elevation. The
secondary front looks to have southwesterly gusts up to hurricane
force south of the outer waters near Haida Gwaii. Widespread gusts
of at least 40 mph are 80% likely with gusts up to 50 mph along
the coast. High land winds, falling trees, and dangerous marine
conditions are all possible, with the highest likelihood in the
southern panhandle.

Forecast confidence remains high regarding the impacts of this
system, but lower for the track. The current forecast track calls
for a more easterly path with the parent low pushing into the
central Gulf, with additional features developing along the storm
force front by Monday afternoon.

Stay tuned to updates from the National Weather Service regarding
this evolving system.

Marine Weather Statement issued September 28 at 2:46PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK Additional Details Here.

The potential for a strong fall system to move into the Gulf
Monday & Tuesday continues. There is increasing confidence in
a hurricane force low over the gulf bringing storm force SE winds
for the outer coast and gale force winds for the southern inner
channels for the first front with seas up to 25 ft on Monday. The
secondary jet on Tuesday south of the initial front will feature
southwesterly hurricane force gusts, likely West Southwest of the
Prince of Wales outer waters, and seas up to 35 ft.

Stay tuned into the marine weather radio and weather.gov/juneau
for updates.
