The heavy\nrainfall and associated runoff will produce significant river rises\nwith the potential of minor flooding.\n\n* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be\npossible.\n\n* WHERE...The following area, Northern Inner Channels. This includes\nthe cities of Skagway and Haines.\n\n* WHEN...From late tonight through late Sunday night.\n\n* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,\ncreeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations.\n\n* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...\n- A series of lows will bring a prolonged period of rain combined\nwith warmer temperatures aloft allowing for any precipitation\nfalling into the region to remain as rain. Current thinking is\nthat the light rain will continue Saturday evening before a\nsecond, stronger system moves in for Saturday night into Sunday\nmorning bringing moderate to heavy rain fall. Rain showers will\nthen take over on Sunday that may bring occasional moderate to\nheavy rainfall as well.\n\nFor the Skagway area, 24 hour precip looks to get up to 1 to 2\ninches this weekend while the storm total amounts could be 2 to 4\ninches. The Haines area is expected to see 0.75 to 1.5 inches in\n24 hours while a storm total precipitation of 2 to 3.5 inches is\npossible.\n\n## Instructions\nStay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,\ntelevision, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.\n\nPersons living along streams should stay alert and be prepared to\ntake action if a warning or advisory is issued, or flooding is\nobserved.\n\nYou should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood\nWarnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared\nto take action should flooding develop."}
