The vast and complex terrain of Alaska can make it difficult to forecast and assess the severity of heavy precipitation events in remote communities, especially in areas where traditional observation sensors, such as radar and ASOS, are not available. This presentation will show deterministic and ensemble model guidance for 1 to 6 day projections along with satellite data that can help to anticipate the potential for heavy precipitation. We will also show satellite products and other real-time situational awareness tools that can be used to monitor and quantify areas of excessive precipitation during an event.
