...Significant Rainfall Expected Through Wednesday... A series of weather fronts moving into the west coast and western Interior will result in very wet conditions along with rises on streams and rivers. The heaviest rainfall is expected over the southern Seward Peninsula and western Brooks Range through the middle of this week. Between 1.00 to 3.00 inches of rain is possible with the heaviest amounts over high terrain. Rivers and streams draining the southern Seward Peninsula and western Brooks Range will see significant rises in water levels during the week. Soils will be saturated by mid-week with the potential for heavy rain to trigger rapid rises on smaller creeks in the area. People living or recreating in these areas should monitor local conditions and be prepared for rises on local streams and rivers including the Snake, Niukluk, Buckland, Kobuk, Noatak and Wulik Rivers. |
