Areal Flood Warning Statement as of 7:33 PM AKDT on August 22, 2011 ...The Flood Warning due to rain remains in effect until noon akdt Wednesday for the Mendenhall Lake and River... At 730 PM akdt...rain continues in the Juneau area with water running off into Mendenhall Lake and River. This runoff has maintained the water level of the Mendenhall Lake and river around moderate flood stage. The stage on Mendenhall Lake was 10.04 feet as of 715 PM. The moderate flood stage is 10 feet. The Mendenhall River was at 12.24 feet...slightly below the 12.5 foot flood stage. Moderate flooding on the lake and river will cause significant water to flow onto the Mendenhall campground...view drive...and Mendenhall Lake Spur Road areas. A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported. Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected. However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately. Precautionary/preparedness actions... When the USGS river gauge on Mendenhall Lake reads 9 ft water will begin to cover Mendenhall Lake Spur Road between Skaters Cabin and West Glacier trailhead in the Juneau area. If you live near or along the Mendenhall Lake and River stay alert and be prepared to take action. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground. Remain cautious when in low-lying areas...and report any flooding to your law enforcement agency. They will relay your report to the National Weather Service forecast office in Juneau. Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local weather news source for updates on this situation.

Areal Flood Warning Statement as of 1:39 PM AKDT on August 22, 2011 The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a * Flood Warning due to rain for the...Mendenhall Lake and River * until noon akdt Wednesday * At 132 PM akdt...rain continues falling in the Juneau area with rainfall up to 0.1 inch per hour at the lower elevations. Higher elevations are likely seeing heavier rain and this is running off into Mendenhall Lake and River. * This runoff and possible additional drainage from a Glacial Lake will cause Mendenhall Lake and River to reach moderate flood levels later this afternoon. The stage on Mendenhall Lake was 9.87 feet as of 115 PM...just below the moderate flood stage of 10 feet. The Mendenhall River was at 11.95 feet...just below the 12.5 foot flood stage. Moderate flooding on the lake and river will cause significant water to flow onto the Mendenhall campground...View Drive...and Mendenhall Lake Spur Road areas. A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported. Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected. However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately. Precautionary/preparedness actions... When the USGS river gauge on Mendenhall Lake reads 9 ft water will begin to cover Mendenhall Lake Spur Road between Skaters Cabin and West Glacier trailhead in the Juneau area. If you live near or along Mendenhall Lake and River stay alert and be prepared to take action. Do not attempt to cross water covered bridges...dips...or low water crossings. Never try to cross a flowing stream...even a small one... on foot. If you encounter a flooded roadway...turn around...don't drown. If flooding is observed act quickly. Move up to higher ground to escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when water begins to rise. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground. Do not underestimate the power of flood waters. Only a few inches of rapidly flowing water can quickly carry away your vehicle. Remain cautious when in low-lying areas...and report any flooding to your law enforcement agency. They will relay your report to the National Weather Service forecast office in Juneau. Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local weather news source for updates on this situation. Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice...turn around...don't drown.

At 441 am akdt...moderate to heavy rain falling over the northern Panhandle will continue through Saturday with rainfall rates up to one quarter inch per hour. Rain will diminish through Saturday afternoon. Rainfall amounts up to 3 inches are expected with heaviest amounts along southern slopes. Small stream levels...including Montana Creek will continue to rise to action or minor flood stage through the day. Stream levels will reach their peaks early Saturday afternoon then fall below flood stage early Saturday evening. Montana Creek is forecast to peak at 16.1 feet by 10 am Saturday...above the minor flood stage of 15.5 feet. Rain will cause considerable ponding of water in low lying areas, near culverts, and along small creeks and drainages. Precautionary/preparedness actions... When the USGS river gauge on Montana Creek reads 15 ft water will begin to flow over the Montana Creek Road just before the gun range in the Juneau area. If you live near or along area streams including Montana Creek stay alert and be prepared to take action. If flooding is observed act quickly. Move up to higher ground to escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when water begins to rise. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Move to higher ground. Remain cautious when in low-lying areas...and report any minor flooding to your law enforcement agency.
