NWS Areal Flood Warning Statement as of 10:36 AM AKST on January 14, 2014 The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a * Flood Warning for urban areas and small streams due to rain and melting snow for...small streams across the central and southern Panhandle...including the Staney Creek near Klawock. * Until 600 PM akst Tuesday * At 1030 am akst...the Staney Creek near Klawock was reporting a stage of 17.4 feet and still rising from heavy rainfall rates of 1 to 1.5 inches every 6 hours. Moderate flood stage for Staney creek is 17.5 feet. The current stage has exceeded the record stage of 17.2 feet from October of 1993. At 10 am akst Montana Creek near Juneau was at 13.5 feet and rising rapidly. Minor flood stage is at 15.5 feet. Rainfall rates in the Mendenhall Valley are approximately 1.5 inches every 6 hours. Jordan Creek is at 9.0 as of 10 am akst. Minor flood stage for Jordan Creek is at 9.7 feet. Both Montana Creek and Jordan Creek may exceed minor flood stage later this afternoon as more heavy rain is likely to fall before tapering off through the afternoon. * A mudslide has been reported between Coffman Cove Junction and Control Lake Junction at milepost 21. Other mudslides will or have already occurred over the area as rainfall rates will continue to be in excess of 1 to 1.5 inches every 6 hours. In addition...Road washouts are possible in areas of high stream levels. 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... If you live near or along Staney Creek or other small streams in the warned area...stay alert and be prepared to take action. Mudslides have been reported in areas of steep terrain. 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. 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.
