Hydrologic Outlook

ESFAJK

A strong storm system is expected to move over the northern Alaska Panhandle beginning Monday night and continuing through Tuesday. Juneau and Gustavus are expected to see periods of moderate to heavy rain for a majority of the day on Tuesday, resulting in significant and rapid rises on small creeks and streams. Rain totals for this event are around 2-4 inches over a 36 hour period, though expected totals will likely change as the event moves closer. At this time, expect to see similar impacts to the previous storm system we saw on Friday, where Salmon River, Jordan Creek, and Montana Creek reached either near or into minor flood stage. Additionally, ponding of water on roads and areas of poor drainage is possible.
