    Special Weather Statement - 7:38pm Thu Sep 17 2026

    ...STRONG WINDS AND HEAVY RAIN IN STORE FOR THIS WEEKEND...

    Heavy rain and strong winds are expected to start Friday and last
    through the weekend as multiple strong low pressure systems move
    into the northern gulf. These lows will bring multiple days of
    moderate to heavy rain, with around 1.5 to 3 inches of rain every 24
    hours. Some areas, especially near Yakutat and along the gulf coast,
    could see localized areas reach around 4 inches of rain in 24 hours.
    Heaviest rain rates are anticipated late Saturday into Sunday with
    hourly rates of 0.15 to 0.3 inches possible. This heavy rain will
    likely cause rapid river rises along smaller rivers and streams, but
    no flooding is expected at this time.

    Along with this heavy rain, increased winds are highly likely across
    the area. Strongest winds are anticipated to occur late Saturday
    into Sunday with 30 to 40 kts, gusts to 50 kts across the gulf and
    20 to 35 kts, gusts around 40 to 50 kts across the northern inner
    channels. Land winds will also increase, with areas especially along
    the gulf coast seeing wind gusts up to around 45 mph. Check back for
    more updates through the weekend.
