Now
From Tuesday 13:13 (20 hours ago)
Until Today 13:15 (3 hours from now)
Official warning explanations:

Beginning Tuesday afternoon, a pair of systems will move into the panhandle, bringing with them windy conditions and heavy rain at times. The first system will arrive Tuesday evening with gusty winds up to 40 to 50 mph to parts of the southern panhandle and outer coast that will last most of the night. Winds increase along the coast after 4pm and spread into the inner channels through evening. Expect the winds to diminish after 3 am Wednesday. Rainfall with this system will be around three quarters of an to one inch. System number two will be arriving late Wed night, and is expected to have more rain then wind. The band of rain is expected to persist through Thursday before then moving east Thursday night and weakening. The rainfall will also be aimed mostly at the northern half of the panhandle with the heaviest rainfall expected to be across the NE Gulf Coast and Glacier Bay area. Most stations have a greater than 60 percent chance of over 1 inches with a few having at least 20 percent chance of exceeding 2 inches north of Frederick Sound. River levels are still currently low from the recent dry weather last month so we are expecting some river rises across the norther panhandle, but no flooding at this time.
