moderate to heavy rain, and is expected to see between 1.5 and 2.5
inches through Wednesday night. Heaviest rain rates during this
event will be between 0.10 and 0.15 inches per hour extending from
the southern panhandle up through Skagway though Ketchikan could
see rates up to 0.4 inches per hour at times. The heavy rain is
mainly expected during the day Wednesday but some parts of the
southern panhandle may see moderate to heavy rain into Wednesday
night.

Flooding is not currently expected with this heavy rainfall,
however river rises will occur.
