Two storm systems are descending from the Gulf of Alaska, according to the National Weather Service.
Along with the message came a radar image, tracking a storm system that is descending from the Gulf of Alaska and expected to drop rain in the region by sometime Wednesday night. It’s the first of two systems that are expected to bring rain through Saturday, according to the weather service.
The rain Wednesday is expected to start in those parts of the region “in the late afternoon or early evening,” she said. In the North Bay, the totals may be higher than in the East and South Bay, because of the path the systems are taking. Kennedy said both systems are characteristic of storms that develop in the Alaskan Gulf in that they are expected to hit land in the North Bay.
Winds also are expected to gust between 25-30 mph in the elevated areas of the region on Wednesday. Those could build to gusts of up to 40 mph by the weekend. The weather service has not issued any advisories or warnings.
