At 900 PM akdt the Taku River stage was 42.7 feet and was continuing to rise. The Taku River will continue to rise into Wednesday and is forecasted to crest near or above moderate flood stage of 44 feet as the Glacier dammed Lake No Lake continues to drain. The Taku River will remain above flood stage into Thursday. People who have property along the Taku River should prepare for high water and make sure things are tied down or off the ground as water will rise into yards and into cabins. People traveling on the Taku River and near Taku Inlet should use extreme caution as the flood waters are producing hazardous conditions. Logs and ice chunks are expected to be floating down the river and the cold water draining from lake no lake will accelerate the time for hypothermia. 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. If you live near or along Taku River stay alert and be prepared to take action. 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.

The Flood Watch is now in effect for * a portion of AK...including the following area...Juneau Borough and northern Admiralty Island. * From 4 PM akdt this afternoon through late tonight * Significant rises have occurred on the Taku River since Monday afternoon...while water temperatures have continued to cool beyond what is normally expected. This is likely caused by cold water released from a glacially dammed lake just across the border in British Columbia. Observations of this lake earlier in the month showed that the water levels were very high...so the additional water has the potential to raise the Taku River to flood stage around 4 PM akdt Tuesday. * As of 3 am akdt Tuesday...the river stage was 40.6 feet and a water temperature was 39 degrees Fahrenheit. A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of flooding in and close to the watch area. Persons living near the river...or planning trips to the area... should stay alert and be prepared to take action if a warning or advisory is issued...or flooding is observed.

NWS Special Weather Statement Statement as of 3:35 PM AKDT on August 07, 2008 ...Weather conditions for this weekend in the Stephens Passage and southern Lynn Canal areas... The weather pattern for this weekend is shaping up to be dominated by the marine layer. Winds will be light to 10 knot northerlies each morning. By each afternoon expect winds will become southerly to 15 knots. Seas will rise to 4 feet in the afternoons especially near Point Retreat and in Taku Inlet. Drizzle and patchy fog is likely each morning with visibilities improving into each afternoon. A weather front will approach the Panhandle late Sunday and we expect locally breezy conditions. At the moment we are not forecasting winds to 25 knots or seas to 5 feet in the Lynn Canal and Stephens Passage area until Monday. Another complication for this weekend forecast is a possible Glacier dam release into the Taku River. Should this happen expect debris within Taku Inlet Friday through Sunday including but not limited to tree branches and other vegetation debris, ice, lawn chairs, and other household debris. Stay tuned for further updates on the Taku River and Inlet areas as more information becomes available. This statement will be updated by 4 PM AKDT Friday or sooner if conditions warrant.
