Description
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
Instructions
Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for information. Persons living along streams should stay alert and be prepared to take action if a warning or advisory is issued, or flooding is observed. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Soils remain moist and excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, other low-lying areas and flood-prone locations.
