Special Weather Statement

Statement as of 3:35 PM AKDT on August 07, 2008

Expires 8:30 PM EDT on August 08, 2008


... Weather conditions for this weekend in the Stephens Passage
and southern Lynn Canal areas...

The weather pattern for this weekend is shaping up to be
dominated by the marine layer. Winds will be light to 10 knot
northerlies each morning. By each afternoon expect winds will become
southerly to 15 knots. Seas will rise to 4 feet in the afternoons
especially near Point Retreat and in Taku Inlet. Drizzle and
patchy fog is likely each morning with visibilities improving into
each afternoon.

A weather front will approach the Panhandle late Sunday and we expect
locally breezy conditions. At the moment we are not forecasting
winds to 25 knots or seas to 5 feet in the Lynn Canal and Stephens
Passage area until Monday.

Another complication for this weekend forecast is a possible
Glacier dam release into the taku river. Should this happen expect
debris within Taku Inlet Friday through Sunday including but not
limited to tree branches and other vegetation debris, ice, lawn
chairs, and other household debris.

Stay tuned for further updates on the taku river and inlet areas
as more information becomes available.

This statement will be updated by 4 PM akdt Friday or sooner if
conditions warrant.
