    Special Weather Statement - 1:51am Tue Oct 13 2026

    ...HEAVY RAIN AND GUSTY WINDS THURSDAY INTO WEEKEND...

    rainfall and gale force winds to the Gulf. Strong winds are also
    expected for coastal and southern panhandle communities. While the
    exact timing and impacts of the system are still being refined,
    confidence is continuing to increase that this will be a more
    impactful system for Southeast Alaska.
