Description
What
Flooding caused by onshore flow restricting Kuskokwim River drainage in combination with excessive rainfall continues.
Where
Kuskokwim near Bethel.
When
Until 100 PM AKDT Wednesday.
Impacts
Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. River or stream flows are elevated. Ponding of water in areas is occurring or is imminent.
Additional details
- At 504 AM AKDT, river gauge reports indicate that receding water levels have dropped below minor flood stage near Bethel. However, persistent high water levels along the Kuskokwim River near Bethel in conjunction with this morning's high tide may increase water levels back above minor flood stage. This is due to the Kuskokwim River back-up in combination with heavy rain runoff farther upstream. Minor flooding will continue from overflow of poor drainage areas. - For Kuskokwim River at Bethel: At 4:50am the stage was 8.2 feet. Flood Stage is 8.5 feet. Impacts: At 7.0 feet: Action and bankfull stage. At 8.5 feet: Minor flood stage. Water starts to back up along Brown Slough and flood low lying areas. At 12.0 feet: Moderate flood stage. At 14.0 feet: Major flood stage. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
Instructions
Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. If you live near or along the Kuskokwim River stay alert and be prepared to take action.
