..FLOOD POTENTIAL
THE FLOOD POTENTIAL WILL INCREASE THROUGH THE WEEKEND FOR RIVERS AND
STREAMS IN SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ALASKA DUE TO SNOW AND GLACIER
MELT FROM RECORD WARM TEMPERATURES. THE YENTNA RIVER IS HAS
SUBSIDED FROM MINOR FLOOD STAGE TO ACTION STAGE BUT IS EXPECTED TO
REMAIN AT CURRENT LEVELS THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE TAIYA RIVER NEAR
SKAGWAY IS EXPECTED TO RISE TO MINOR FLOOD STAGE BY SATURDAY OR
SUNDAY AND A FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THAT RIVER. OTHER
RIVERS WITH EXPECTED HIGH WATER LEVELS INCLUDE THE SKWENTNA,
MATANUSKA, EAGLE, KLUTINA, KENAI, AND SIX MILE RIVERS.
..HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION
PRECIPITATION WILL BE CONFINED TO THE NORTH SLOPE THROUGH THE
WEEKEND AS A VERY STRONG AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER
SOUTHCENTRAL. NEAR RECORD WARMTH IS EXPECTED UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE
AXIS, ESPECIALLY BY THE END OF THE WEEK INTO SATURDAY, WHERE HIGHS
WILL RISE INTO THE 80'S AND POTENTIALLY 90 DEGREES FOR INLAND
LOCATIONS. FREEZING LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO RISE ABOVE 13,000 FT BY
SATURDAY LEADING TO RAPID SNOW AND GLACIER MELT FOR HIGH ELEVATION
LOCATIONS. THIS WILL BE THE BIG DRIVER FOR RISING WATER LEVELS OVER
LOCAL STREAMS AND RIVERS THIS WEEK.
