- 1927: NWS: June 2013 one of the warmest on record
for Alaska.
NWS: Public Information Statement
Statement as of 7:27 PM AKDT on July 20, 2013
...June 2013 one of the warmest on record for Alaska...
Much of Alaska experienced some of the warmest weather on record
in June. The only exceptions were Bering Sea coastal areas from
the Seward Peninsula south to the Alaska Peninsula...where
temperatures...while above normal overall...were not in the top
ten warmest for the month.
Most outstanding was the extreme heat mid-month over portions of
southern and western Alaska. Several locations with observations
extending back more than 70 years broke all-time record
highs...including 96 degrees at Talkeetna...94 degrees at McGrath
and 90 degrees at both Cordova and Valdez. At Bethel...the high of
88 degrees on the 18th is the second highest temperature on record
in more than 90 years of observations. On the 19th Nome tied the
all-time record high of 86 degrees. At Juneau...the high
temperature of 85 degrees on the 16th was the warmest temperature
in the capital city since June 2004 and the third warmest
temperature recorded in Juneau since at least 1944. The last week of
the month was especially warm in the interior. At Fairbanks...the
low temperature of 70 degrees on the 25th may be the highest
reliable calendar day low temperature ever recorded in Alaska. The
average temperature at the Fairbanks Airport for the week of June
23rd to 29th was 74.8 degrees...is the warmest week ever at
Fairbanks...and may be the warmest week on record at any location
in Alaska.
Preliminary data indicates the following rankings for average
temperatures for June:
Barrow...39.0 degrees...the warmest since Weather Bureau
observations began in 1920.
Juneau Airport...57.9 degrees...the second warmest June on record.
Fairbanks...66.8 degrees...the third warmest June on record.
Anchorage...58.9 degrees...the third warmest June on record.
Kodiak...53.8 degrees...the forth warmest June on record and the
warmest since 1953.
Rainfall...while below normal in many places...including
Juneau...was not in the lowest ten.
The unusually warm weather was the result of stagnant high
pressure aloft centered over the state. That pattern has changed
since the beginning of this month and daily average temperatures
so far in Juneau in July are 0.7 degrees below normal. The
temperature at the Juneau Airport has only exceeded 70 degrees on
three days as of July 20th.
While the above listed temperatures have been carefully
checked...they are still considered preliminary values and subject
to final quality control..which in a few cases may change these
rankings.

- 2137 ADT (Posted here 0620 7/09): The Flood Advisory
has been cancelled for Montana Creek near

NWS Flood Watch / Flood Statement
Statement as of 9:37 PM AKDT on July 08, 2013
...The Flood Advisory has been cancelled for Montana Creek near
Juneau and possible small mudslides...
Montana Creek crested around 16.9 feet at 630 PM this evening well
above minor flood stage of 15.5 feet and just below the moderate
flood stage of 17 feet. We have not received any reports of damage
from the flooding this evening. Currently the creek is at 15.1 feet
about a half a foot below minor flood stage and continuing to drop.
It is expected to continue to drop through the night as showers
diminish over the area.
We also had a report of a small mudslide on Glacier Highway near
Wickersham Avenue around 7 PM. No reports of damage came in from
this and we have received no other reports of mudslides in the area.
With showers in the area diminishing more small mudslides are not
expected.

- 1908: The Small Stream Flood Advisory remains
in effect until 11 PM for Montana Creek near
Juneau and for the possibility of small mudslides.
NWS Areal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 7:07 PM AKDT on July 08, 2013
...The small stream Flood Advisory remains in effect until 1100 PM
akdt for Montana Creek near Juneau and for the possibility of small
mudslides...
At 600 PM akdt...the Montana Creek river gage was at 16.8 feet and
slowly rising. This is over a foot above minor flood stage of 15.5
feet. A small mudslide was also reported by the public near
Wickersham Avenue.
Heavy showers moved over the Juneau area between 1 and 4 PM this
afternoon and dropped up to three quarters of an inch of rain in
around an hour on the Mendenhall Valley. Montana Creek has rapidly
responded rising above minor flood stage of 15.5 feet around 5 PM
this evening. It is currently at 16.8 feet and its rate of rise has
slowed down. At this level there is likely around a foot or more of
water flowing over the low water crossing on Montana Creek Road and
some water in low lying areas along the creek. Montana Creek is
expected to crest in the next hour or two around 16.9 feet before
falling as the showers move out of the area. It is not expected to
make moderate flood stage which is at 17 feet
We also received a spotter report of a small mudslide on Glacier
Highway near Wickersham Avenue. No damage or disruption reported at
this time. The possibility of more small mudslides still exists with
the showers that are still moving through the area.
Rain will cause considerable ponding of water in low lying areas,
near culverts, and along small creeks and drainages.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
When the 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.
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. They will relay your report
to the National Weather Service forecast office in Juneau.

237 PM AKDT FRI JUL 5 2013
...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 600 PM AKDT SATURDAY
FOR THE TAKU RIVER NEAR JUNEAU...
AT 235 PM AKDT...WATERS ON THE TAKU RIVER ARE STILL RISING FROM THE
GLACIAL DAM OUTBURST FROM LAKE NOLAKE IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. THE WATER
LEVEL HAS REACHED 42.0 FT AS OF 200 PM FRIDAY. THE RIVER HAS RISEN
OVER 4 FEET SINCE LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, AND IS STILL EXPECTED TO
RISE THROUGH TONIGHT TO EXCEED MINOR FLOOD STAGE OF 43.0 FT.
AT THIS TIME THE RIVER IS EXPECTED TO CREST JUST ABOVE MINOR FLOOD
STAGE OF 43.0 FT AND BELOW MODERATE FLOOD STAGE OF 44.0 FT. HOWEVER,
GIVEN THE ONLY REPORTS OF LAKE NOLAKE WERE TAKEN TWO WEEKS AGO AND
THE CONTINUING WARM SUMMER OF 2013, THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO
WHEN AND HOW HIGH THE RIVER WILL CREST FROM THE OUTBURST.
HISTORICALLY THE WATERS CREST BETWEEN 2 AND 3 DAYS FROM THE FIRST
RISE SHOWN AT THE GAGE. HOWEVER, THIS IS AN EARLIER RELEASE THAN
NORMAL WHICH MAY BE INDICATIVE OF A RELEASE BEFORE THE BASIN WAS
FULL. WATERS MAY CREST ANYTIME BETWEEN FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY AND
WHILE WATERS ARE MOST LIKELY TO CREST BETWEEN MINOR AND MODERATE
FLOOD STAGE, THERE IS STILL A CHANCE WATERS WILL RISE ABOVE MODERATE
FLOOD STAGE. AT 43.3 FT THE WATER LEVEL WILL BE AT THE TOP OF THE
HILL IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE NEAR THE GAGE. THIS IS MINOR FLOODING.
AT 44.7 FT THE WATER LEVEL WILL BE AT THE DOOR JAM OF THE HOUSE NEAR
THE GAGE. THIS IS MODERATE FLOODING.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
IF YOU LIVE NEAR OR ALONG THE TAKU RIVER STAY ALERT AND BE PREPARED
TO TAKE ACTION.
THE COLD WATER TEMPERATURES CAN INCREASE THE THREAT OF HYPOTHERMIA
AND LOWER THE TIME REQUIRED TO CAUSE HYPOTHERMIA.
PLEASE STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL
WEATHER NEWS SOURCE FOR UPDATES ON THIS SITUATION.
A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
