Locations:
* Willow and Talkeetna
* Rivers, creeks, and streams with headwaters along the western
Talkeetna Mountains
Timing:
* Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Heaviest rainfall
expected through Tuesday evening.
Rainfall:
* Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches Monday through Wednesday likely
won't be high enough for widespread flooding, but smaller
tributaries draining the Talkeetnas including Willow Creek and the
Little Susitna will likely reach bankfull.
Hydrologic Concerns:
* Many lower locations along rivers such as gravel bars and other
spots popular for camping and recreating may become inundated with
water with rivers reaching bankfull conditions.
* Heavy rain may result in localized ponding in low-lying areas and
locations with poor drainage.
Next Steps:
* Residents along area streams as well as river users and recreators
should anticipate higher than normal water levels and are advised
to monitor weather and river forecasts.
* Send weather or flooding reports to inws.ncep.noaa.gov/report/ or
by calling 1-907-266-5127.
* Reports on river conditions may be sent to the river forecast
center by calling 1-907-266-5160.
