At 924 PM akdt...a moist weather front moving over the northern Inner Channels through Sunday with rain becoming heavy at times late Saturday night. Rainfall amounts in the Juneau area are expected to range from 1.5 to 2.5 inches through Sunday afternoon.

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. Other small creeks and streams such as Jordan Creek will also show rapid rises but are less likely to exceed bankfull. Rain will cause considerable ponding of water in low lying areas, and near culverts. Precautionary/preparedness actions...

NWS Areal Flood Watch Statement as of 4:57 AM AKDT on September 04, 2013 ...Flood Watch remains in effect through this evening... The Flood Watch continues for * a portion of AK...including the following area...Juneau Borough and northern Admiralty Island. * Through this evening * A weather front moving into the Panhandle today is expected to drop around an inch of rain...with greater amounts likely in the higher terrain and in the back of the Mendenhall Valley. Rain will be heavier through the morning hours and slacken into the afternoon. With the ground somewhat saturated from the rains experienced over the previous weekend...small streams and creeks are rising. As of 4 am Montana Creek is at 11.6 feet and rising more quickly. Rainfall rates have been rising to between 0.10 and 0.15 inches per hour through the early morning and will remain high through mid morning. Montana Creek is forecast to possibly reach minor flood stage with a level of 16.5 feet sometime this afternoon. Jordan Creek is not expected to flood but it is expected to rise to bankfull late this afternoon and this evening. Whether flooding occurs will be dependent on both rainfall amounts and rates. The higher the rain amounts and the harder it falls...the more likely Montana Creek will flood. * Minor flood stage on Montana Creek is at 15.5 feet which is where water will potentially start crossing the low water crossing on Montana Creek Road and inundate undeveloped fields nearby. Jordan Creek reaches bankfull at 9.2 feet with minor flood stage at 9.7 feet where parking lots and driveways near the creek start to inundate with water. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of flooding in and close to the watch area. Persons living along streams should stay alert and be prepared to take action if a warning or advisory is issued...or flooding is observed. This statement will be updated by 400 PM akdt Wednesday or sooner if conditions warrant. ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0139 ADT: High Rain Rate of .17" of Rain per hour.

At 925 am akdt...around an inch and a quarter of rain has fallen over the Montana Creek watershed in the last 12 hours which has caused Montana Creek to rise above minor flood stage this morning. As of 9 am Sunday morning water levels on Montana Creek are currently starting to drop with a reading of 15.9 feet. This is down from a crest of 16.6 feet that occurred around 7:30 this morning. Rainfall rates in the area have decreased with only 0.09 inches in the last 3 hours at the Juneau Weather Service office on Back Loop and 0.11 inches in the last 3 hours at Montana Creek river gage. However one band of rain is still forecast to move through the area later today but should not bring more than a half an inch of rainfall to the area through the rest of the day. Water levels on Montana Creek should continue to decrease through the day dropping below bankfull by later this afternoon. Minor flood stage on Montana Creek is at 15.5 feet where water begins to cross the low water crossing on Montana Creek Road and inundate adjacent undeveloped fields. Rain will cause considerable ponding of water in low lying areas, near culverts, and along small creeks and drainages. Precautionary/preparedness actions... 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.
