HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION 
NWS ALASKA PACIFIC RIVER FORECAST CENTER ANCHORAGE AK  
300 PM AKDT TUE NOV 17 2009

...FLOOD POTENTIAL...
THE FLOOD POTENTIAL IS CURRENTLY LOW STATEWIDE. 

...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS...
THE NORTHEAST COAST TO THE SOUTHERN END OF THE PANHANDLE WAS
PUMMELED WITH RAIN THAT REACHED A PEAK FRIDAY AND SATURDAY OF LAST
WEEK. FREEZING LEVELS ALSO SHOT UP TO NEARLY 10000 FEET. AS A
RESULT MUDSLIDES ROLLED DOWN IN THE JUNEAU AREA AS FLOOD WARNINGS
FOR MASS WASTING WERE SENT. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVER THE LAST 7
DAYS HAVE RANGED OVER 7 INCHES AT YAKUTAT... KETCHKIAN AND ANNETTE
WHILE HAINES... JUNEAU AND SITKA REPORTED AROUND 4 INCHES. 

A MONSTER HIGH HAS TAKEN HOLD OF EASTERN SIBERIA WHILE AT THE SAME
TIME AN ARCTIC LOW HAS A FIRM GRIP OVER THE BEAUFORT SEA. A TROUGH
THEN EXTENDS DOWN INTO THE GULF AND REMAINS THE MAIN SOURCE OF THE
PRECIPITATION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OVER THE SOUTHEAST. THE
ANOMALOUSLY COLD NORTHERNLY AIR THE MAINLAND STARTED TO EXPERIENCE
IN EARNEST 3 DAYS AGO LOOKS TO HANG AROUND AT LEAST UNTIL FRIDAY.
THE RIDGE DIES A SLOW DEATH AS THE NEXT LOW IS JETTISONED OUT OF
CHINA REACHES THE BERING BY WHAT LOOKS TO BE FRIDAY MORNING AT THIS
POINT.  

ICE HAS QUICKLY FORMED OVER MANY RIVERS AND LAKES ACROSS MAINLAND 
ALASKA AS COLD TEMPERATURES FINALLY SPREAD OVER MUCH OF THE STATE.
SEVERAL INCHES OF ICE ARE BEING REPORTED BY ICE OBSERVES IN THE
INTERIOR AND COPPER RIVER BASIN.
