Statement as of 10:00 AM AST on November
18, 2005
... The National Weather Service has issued
a small stream flood
advisory for the central Panhandle through
6 am AST Saturday...
A weather front will slowly move across Southeast
Alaska through
tonight as a warm airmass moves up into the
central Panhandle.
Heavy rainfall of 2 to 5 inches and a rise
in the freezing level
to above 5000 feet will result in significant
runoff and cause
some small streams and drainage ditches to
reach or overflow
their banks.
In the Juneau area... Montana Creek is expected
to rise near 16
feet this evening which is 1 foot below flood
stage. However at
16 feet the river will be bankfull with water
spreading over
areas along the river and over the low water
crossing on Montana
Creek Road.
Rain will cause considerable ponding of water
in low lying areas,
near culverts, and along small creeks and
drainages.
The next statement on this event is scheduled
at 10 PM AST Fri.
Additional statements could be issued at
any time if conditions
change.
