Situk near Yakutat. These rivers were showed rapid rises with some
beginning to taper off. River levels are expected to fall through the
morning. At minor flood stages rivers will rise above bankfull and
begin to inundate the surrounding area.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated...or
ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
Do not attempt to travel across flooded roads. Find alternate routes.

NWS Areal Flood Advisory
Statement as of 9:05 AM AKDT on September 29, 2015
The National Weather Service in Juneau has issued a
* Flood Advisory for rapid rises from...
heavy rainfall... in northeast and eastern Gulf Coast...northern
and central Inner Channels
* Until 900 am akdt Wednesday
* At 905 am akdt...satellite estimates and automated rain gauges
indicated heavy rain which will cause minor flooding. Rivers and
streams will rise rapidly in the advisory area. 2 to 5 inches of
rain have fallen. Additional rainfall of 2 to 3 inches is expected
over the area.
* Many small streams will reach minor flood...such as the Taiya near
Skagway...Jordan and Montana creeks near Juneau...Indian River
near Sitka and the Situk near Yakutat. These rivers were showing
rapid rises...as much as 1 foot in the past few hours. At minor
flood stages rivers will rise above bankfull and begin to inundate
the surrounding area.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated...or
ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
Do not attempt to travel across flooded roads. Find alternate routes.
It takes only a few inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles
away.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this situation.
If you live near or along any rivers or streams in the area stay
alert and be prepared to take action.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 7:15 AM AKDT on September 28, 2015
...Heavy rain through Tuesday evening...
Fronts tracking eastward over the AK Gulf will move over
Southeast Alaska through Tuesday evening. These waves will bring
in a long fetch of tropical moisture to the region producing
moderate to heavy rain for most of the Panhandle. Six hour
rainfall amounts between 0.5 and 1.0 inch are possible with total
accumulations of 2 to 5 inches for the event. Highest rain
amounts will be along the northeast Gulf Coast...eastern Gulf
Coast and central Inner Channels with the heaviest rain falling
late Monday night and Tuesday morning.
This heavy rain will cause local rivers and streams to rise
significantly from current levels...likely near or above bankfull.
Since water levels are currently low...it will take longer for
rivers to reach minor flood stage if they do rise that high.
At this time the Taiya River near Skagway and Jordan Creek near
Juneau have potential to rise above flood stage...there is some
uncertainty with these forecast levels which will be reviewed as
more data comes in.
Sustained heavy rain and strong winds along the front will also
increase the risk of mud slides near steep terrain.
This statement will be updated as conditions warrant.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:37 PM AKDT on September 16, 2015
...Strong early Fall storm to affect the Panhandle Friday...
A developing low in the outer Gulf will track northeast into the
eastern Gulf Thursday night and move onshore into the north-
central Panhandle Friday morning. Rain will increase and become
moderate to heavy over most of the Panhandle on Thursday night and
persist into Friday morning. As watersheds are currently
saturated...rivers...streams...and lakes will respond by rising to
bankfull with the possibility of flooding in some areas of the
northern Panhandle...particularly the Taiya River near Skagway as
well as Montana Creek in Juneau on Friday.
Aside from heavy rain...the low will strengthen winds across much
of the Panhandle with the possibility of high wind gusts up to 60
mph over Prince of Wales Island and the southern Inner Channels.
For the potential of high winds over these areas...please see the
high wind watch statement for more information.
Elsewhere...expect gusts of up to 45 mph beginning early Friday
morning and spreading northward into the Lynn Canal region by
Friday night. Given very saturated ground...moderate to heavy
rain...as well as strong winds...there will be a risk of
mudslides.
Stay tuned for further updates.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:49 AM AKDT on September 13, 2015
...Suicide Basin has started to drain...
Suicide Basin just off the Mendenhall Glacier crested at 11.5 ft
on the University of Alaska southeast Gauge at 8 PM Saturday. As
of 3 am Sunday the water level in the basin has dropped to 11.2
ft. The volume of water that accumulated in Suicide Basin does not
appear to be enough to cause Mendenhall Lake and River to rise
above bankfull. Water level rises should begin by 9 am this
morning but no flooding is expected at this time.
The National Weather Service will continue to closely monitor the
Mendenhall Lake and River system during this release. Persons
using the Mendenhall Lake area and living along the Mendenhall
river should continue to monitor the National Weather Service
forecasts and observations.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 9:42 PM AKDT on September 11, 2015
...Mendenhall Lake and river slowly receding...
Heavy rains of 3 to 6 inches over the Mendenhall basin the last two
days have raised the Mendenhall Lake and River to around bankfull
Friday evening. The lake and river crested at 8.1 feet just above
bankfull stage of 8.0 feet around 5 PM Friday evening and has
been slowly falling ever since. As of 9:15 PM the Mendenhall Lake
gauge was at 7.9 feet. The slow rate of fall and the fact that
Suicide Basin is still filling suggests that the high water is
possibly a result of the Glacier draining from the recent heavy
rains and not from a Glacier dam release. Water levels in the
Mendenhall Lake and river are expected to continue to slowly fall
through the rest of the night.

...Mendenhall Lake and River rising to bankfull tonight...
Heavy rains of 3 to 6 inches over the Mendenhall basin have raised
the Mendenhall Lake and River gauge to 8.0 feet as of 3:15 PM
this afternoon. Recent trends indicating a slowing rate of lake
rise suggests the Glacier is draining from the recent heavy rains

expected tonight as runoff from rains decrease...but until then
expect a rise of 1 to 2 inches per hour.

NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 5:41 AM AKDT on September 09, 2015
...Very wet conditions for Southeast Alaska late Wednesday
through Friday...
A series of multiple fronts will lift out of the North Pacific and
drift over the forecast area Wednesday through Friday. These
systems will tap subtropical moisture from an unusually active
equatorial Pacific. This will produce areas of heavy rain and
cause rivers and streams to rise moderately across the Panhandle.
Heavy rain will begin Wednesday afternoon for Yakutat and spread
into the rest of the Panhandle Wednesday night into Thursday. The
focus of the greatest rainfall will depend on the track of the
fronts. At this time...2 to 5 inches of rain is expected to fall
across the forecast area. The potential for landslides will
increase in areas of prolonged heavier rains and gusty winds
headed into Friday.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this upcoming event.
This statement will be updated at 4 PM akdt Wednesday or sooner
