A fall storm is expected to hit Juneau, falling hardest on Friday before tapering off Saturday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

The City and Borough of Juneau Docks and Harbors department issued a warning, and asked all boat owners to make sure their pumps are working and vessels are moored securely.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

“We’re looking at a typical Southeast Alaska fall-type storm,” said Pete Boyd, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service’s Juneau office, in a phone interview. “We’re going to see gusts up to 40 mph and heavy rain, especially on the outside coast.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

One to four inches of precipitation is expected, with higher amounts at higher altitudes, Boyd said. Winds are expected to be strong in the inner waterways but not excessively so.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

“We’re going to see winds in the inner channels from 25-30 knots,” Boyd said. “We’re not expecting to see any gale force winds.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t

More fronts are expected in the coming week, with the next one predicted to move through the area Sunday.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
