Issued by NWS Fairbanks AK
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON
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
