## extract

Flood Watch — Anchorage; Anchorage Hillside / Eagle River
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...The following areas, Anchorage Bowl and Eagle River.  This
includes the cities of Anchorage, Eagle River, Eklutna, and Indian.

* WHEN...From 4 AM AKDT Monday through Monday evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Water levels on the Chester and
Campbell Creeks will remain elevated through Tuesday morning.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Around one inch of rain has already fallen across the
Anchorage Bowl as of Sunday afternoon. The steady rainfall
continuing across West Anchorage and JBER as of 5pm is likely
(60-70%) to taper off to a very light rain or sprinkles by
later this evening. A second round of moderate to heavy rain
is then likely (80-90%) to develop just in time for the
Monday morning commute through Monday evening before tapering
off. An additional 0.50" to 1" of rain is likely (70-80%)
with a low chance (10-20%) of amounts exceeding 1". This
second round of rain on top of already saturated ground may
lead to further ponding of water on area roads, localized
urban flooding, and increased water levels for area creeks
and streams. Additional rainfall may also lead to rockfalls
along the Seward Highway south of Anchorage.
