1115 am ADT Sat Oct 21 2006
The National Weather Service in Juneau has
issued a
* Small Stream Flood Advisory for...
Montana Creek and other small creeks and
streams in the Juneau area
* From 300 PM ADT Saturday through 400 am
Sunday
* Moderate to heavy rainfall is expected
to move into the Juneau
area this afternoon and evening. Small creeks
and streams will
respond to this heavier rainfall by rising
quickly to bankfull or
higher and may cause minor flooding.
Montana Creek is currently at 12.6 feet and
is expected to rise to
around 15.5 feet this evening. At 15 feet
water begins flowing over
the low water crossing on Montana Creek Road.
Water also starts to
inundate adjacent undeveloped fields.
Jordan Creek may also see a significant rise
into tonight and may
reach bankfull. This would cause some minor
flooding to near by
parking lots.
Rain will cause considerable ponding of water
in low lying areas,
near culverts, and along small creeks and
drainages.
Do not attempt to cross water covered bridges...dips...or
low water
crossings. Never try to cross a flowing stream...even
a small one...
on foot. If you encounter a flooded roadway...turn
around...do not
drown.
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.
Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or
your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this situation.

230 PM ADT Wed Oct 4 2006 & Revised 1530
...The small stream flood advisory remains
in effect until 800 PM
ADT for Montana Creek in Juneau and Starrigavan
Creek near
Sitka...
In Juneau...at 115 PM Montana Creek rose
to 15.3 ft and is
expected to rise to around 16.5 ft this afternoon.
Minor flooding
has been reported on Montana Creek Road with
rising water
continuing through the afternoon. A rise
to 16.5 ft will cause
several inches of water to flow over the
low water crossing on
Montana Creek Road...and inundates adjacent
undeveloped fields.
Other smaller streams are also on the rise
in the Juneau area to
include Jordan Creek. At 147 PM Jordan was
at 3.6 ft and will
continue to rise through the afternoon. Jordan
Creek will likely
rise slightly above 4 feet which will cause
minor flooding to near
by parking lots.
In Sitka...heavy rain and high tide has caused
Starrigavan Creek
to crest around 14.7 ft this afternoon. A
spotter report at 2 PM
has confirmed flood waters ranging from 4
inches to 1 foot on
Nelson logging Road and bridge.
The heavy rain will diminish over the Juneau
and Sitka areas
through 4 PM with small streams and Creeks
subsiding into this
evening.
Rain will cause considerable ponding of water
in low lying
areas...near culverts...and along small Creeks
and drainages.
Do not attempt to cross water covered bridges...dips...or
low
water crossings. Never try to cross a flowing
stream...even a
small one...on foot. If you encounter a flooded
roadway...turn
around...do not drown.
Report any minor 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.
