🚨 Flood Watch issued September 18 at 4:31AM AKDT until September 19 at 4:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK 🚨
Additional Details Here.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Fairbanks, North Pole, Two Rivers, Fort Wainwright, Ester, and Fox * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Chena River is running higher than normal and will continue to be high through the week. As of 4 AM AKDT Friday, river levels near the Upper Chena have crested and are beginning to come down. The Chena below Hunts Creek is still rising gradually but beginning to level off. The Chena below Moose Creek Dam is also rising still. Water levels on the Little Chena are still gradually rising but it will be cresting soon as the rate of rise has dropped off. Peak water levels near Moose Creek Dam will likely be tonight through Saturday. - This means low-lying and typical flood-prone areas may experience areas of flooding through the end of the week as water levels gradually rise then fall. In addition, other creeks and streams in the vicinity will be running at elevated levels. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc

Additional Details Here.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Fairbanks, North Pole, Two Rivers, Fort Wainwright, Ester, and Fox * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Chena River is running higher than normal and will continue to be high through the week. Showers will continue through the end of the week, with storm total rainfall of 1.5"-3.00" having already been recorded. Combined with already saturated soils, this amount of rain will bring the Chena and Little Chena Rivers above minor flood stage beginning Thursday afternoon into Friday. A flood advisory is out for the Chena River. - This means low-lying and typical flood-prone areas may experience areas of flooding through the end of the week as water levels gradually rise then fall. In addition, other creeks and streams in the vicinity will be running at elevated levels. As the ground is already saturated and may struggle to hold more water, there could also be pooling and ponding of water across the area which may make travel difficult in localized spots. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc

Additional Details Here.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Chena Hot Springs Road West Of Mp 40. * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - This is an extension to the watch already in effect. * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Fairbanks, North Pole, Two Rivers, Fort Wainwright, Ester, and Fox * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Chena River is running higher than normal and will continue to be high through the week. Showers will continue through the end of the week, with the bulk of the rainfall expected through Thursday morning. Storm total rainfall during this time will be around 0.50" to 1.00". It has been very wet lately and this amount of rain has the potential to bring the Chena and Little Chena Rivers above minor flood stage beginning Thursday afternoon into Friday. - This means low-lying and typical flood-prone areas may experience areas of flooding through the end of the week as water levels gradually rise then fall. In addition, while we are not expecting much flooding away from rivers, streams and creeks, as the ground is already saturated and may struggle to hold more water. This can lead to pooling and ponding of water across the area which may make travel difficult in localized spots. - There is some uncertainty with exact timing and amounts of rainfall but as details become clearer, we will continue to update. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc

Hydrologic Outlook issued September 15 at 2:15PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
Additional Details Here.
ESFAFG ...Locations Impacted... Middle Yukon Valley, Lower Koyukuk Valley, Lower Yukon Valley, and Innoko Valley. Across western Alaska, widespread 24 hour rainfall totals of between 0.75 1.00 inches were reported through Noon Tuesday. Additional totals of 0.25 to 0.75" are possible with some locations potentially seeing an additional 1.25 inches of additional rainfall through Wednesday. While the Yukon river should be able to manage much of the additional water, smaller streams and rivers that feed these systems could experience some minor flooding over the next few days.

🚨 Flood Watch issued September 15 at 2:21PM AKDT until September 18 at 4:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK 🚨
Additional Details Here.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Upper Kuskokwim Valley. This includes the cities of McGrath, Nikolai, And Takotna. * WHEN...Through Friday afternoon. * IMPACTS...The Kuskokwim River is currently at bankfull. Soils remain moist and excessive runoff may result in localized flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Rain should continue through Wednesday afternoon with storm total rainfall expected to be around 1 to 2 inches. Minor pooling/ponding of water in low-lying and flood prone areas is possible with the already saturated ground conditions beginning on Tuesday. Small stream and creek flooding is possible as we expect very high water levels throughout the week in response to the heavy rain. - We will continue to monitor the situation closely and update as necessary. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Fairbanks, North Pole, Two Rivers, Fort Wainwright, Ester, and Fox * WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Chena River is running higher than normal and will continue to be high through the week. Showers will continue through the end of the week, with the bulk of the rainfall expected through Thursday morning. Storm total rainfall during this time will be around 0.50" to 1.00". It has been very wet lately and this amount of rain has the potential to bring the Chena and Little Chena Rivers above minor flood stage beginning Wednesday. - This means low-lying and typical flood-prone areas may experience areas of flooding from Wednesday through the end of the week as water levels gradually rise then fall. In addition, while we are not expecting much flooding away from rivers, streams and creeks, as the ground is already saturated and may struggle to hold more water. This can lead to pooling and ponding of water across the area which may make travel difficult in localized spots. - There is some uncertainty with exact timing and amounts of rainfall but as details become clearer, we will continue to update. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc
