The flood watch begins Wednesday afternoon and extends through Friday. Sitka, Yakutat, Gustavus, Hoonah, Juneau, Haines and Skagway all fall in the flood watch zone.
Pete Boyd with the National Weather Service calls it a strong fall storm.
“Those type of rainfall amounts over a 24-hour period are not uncommon. But we’d like to keep everyone aware, especially when we start getting these higher rainfall amounts and how they’re going to be impacting the area,” he said. All that rain means the National Weather Service issued a flood watch from Wednesday afternoon through Friday. Sitka, Yakutat, Gustavus, Hoonah, Juneau, Haines and Skagway all fall in the flood watch zone.
“If you live along or recreate on any waterways or rivers, take extra caution. Be aware of any immediate rising water levels,” he said. Boyd said it’s not the strongest storm the weather service has ever seen, but he doesn’t recommend camping this weekend either.He added that hardier souls who are prepared for the weather might still go outside.
