Areas of dense fog are ongoing in parts of the northern and central panhandle, including Hoonah and Angoon. Dense fog will be intermittent at times and is expected to thin out through the morning. Dense fog advisories have been issued through 10 AM Sunday. #akwx
Current satellite imagery is showing mainly clear skies across SEAK this afternoon. Current temps are in the 30s to low 40s across north, with 40s to low 50s across the south. Quieter weather pattern continues through the weekend into next week.
Grab your jackets! Here's a look at this morning's low temperatures.
Much of the northern panhandle is near or below freezing, with the southern half sitting in the mid to high 30s. With clear skies expected again today, low temps tomorrow will be similarly chilly. #akwx
Good afternoon SE AK! Enjoy a sunny start to the weekend as high pressure clears skies across the region. Lows tonight drop into the upper 20s to 30s. Outflow winds pick up tonight with gusts up to 30mph for areas exposed to northerlies, then calming by Saturday afternoon. #akwx
Good morning, SE AK. Cloud cover and some showers remain this morning but things are already changing for the weekend. High pressure returns and we will start to clear out today into tomorrow. With the clearing skies, low temperatures will drop into the 30s for the weekend. #akwx
Hang in there, Juneau! Conditions are steadily beginning to improve with the front having passed almost all the way through. Here are some of the highest wind gusts observed today across Juneau, with most areas at the surface seeing 55 to almost 65 mph gusts this afternoon.
Our observations at higher elevations up to 4000 ft which include Eaglecrest (88 mph), the Tram (79 mph), Lemon Glacier (145 mph), and Sheep Mtn (131 mph) can also give us a great idea of how fast the winds are blowing just above us. #akwx
Curious how gusty it's been since midnight? These are the peak wind gusts we've seen over the last 10 hours across the Panhandle. The front will continue to push eastward through Tuesday, allowing the stronger winds to push into the Southern Panhandle through the afternoon.
Wind speeds will decrease behind the front tonight, but stay elevated into Wednesday for some of the northern inner channels.

Lightning strikes along the Gulf Coast and near Yakutat are expected to continue through Tuesday, though the possibility of these cells making it further into the interior panhandle again is diminishing. #akwx

For those folks in the Icy Strait Corridor area including Juneau. No, you weren't dreaming. That is thunder you have been hearing this morning occurring along the front as it moves in.
A strong system is expected to move into the area tonight, with heavy rainfall across the Northern Panhandle. youtube.com/watch?v=x2LN8BV8…
Low clouds, fog, and some rain showers continue across the panhandle this morning. While we are getting a slight reprieve from the active weather, our next round is already moving towards the panhandle with strong winds and heavy rain.
Winds will increase across the area from W to E as the front approaches the area. Rain should start later this morning and will move from Yakutat to the N panhandle by mid day. The central and S panhandle should see rain starting by mid to late afternoon going into the overnight.
The heaviest rain looks to remain around the Icy Strait corridor up towards Yakutat. Check back through out the day for updates or additional details regarding this active weather. #akwx
