Total rainfall accumulations for the event are expected to be between 1.5 and 3.0 inches, with the greatest amounts in the central panhandle. Upwards of 5 inches is possible for higher elevations.

Several wind advisories have been issued, primarily for the coastal locations, however, wind gusts are expected between 25-30 mph for inland areas such as Wrangell, Kake, Ketchikan, Hoonah, Gustavus, Petersburg, and Juneau.
