Special Weather Statement issued December 2 at 10:36PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK

Since the transition from snow Monday morning, up to an inch of
rain has fallen across the area.

Rain is expected to continue through Monday night followed by
another round of heavy rain for Tuesday. 1 to 2 inches of rain is
expected through Tuesday night.

Due to significant snow pack from the recent storm and frozen ground
from recent cold temperatures, runoff will have a difficult time
keeping up with this amount of rain. Expect ponding of water on
roadways and for some creeks to spike up. Snow removal will become
more difficult due to higher water content making the snow heavier.
Boat owners should check on their vessels. Additionally, areas of
compact snow will become very slippery.

Please let the National Weather Service office know if you are
seeing impacts from this rainfall.
