Details
* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt continues to be possible.
* WHERE...Dalton Highway, Sag, Colville, Kuparuk Rivers and their tributaries.
* WHEN...Through Thursday morning.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Access to roads, airstrips, and low-lying infrastructure may be affected. High flows could lead to bank erosion that could threaten nearby roads. Blocked culverts could lead to road washouts.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - High water is being seen at several stream gages on the North Slope after the warm weekend temperatures followed by rain on residual snow. Rain will be tapering off into Tuesday evening and water levels in headwater streams are already dropping. Locations lower on rivers can expect to see high water through Wednesday and into Thursday.
