## extract

Flood Advisory — Interior Kuskokwim Delta
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by onshore flow restricting Kuskokwim River
drainage in combination with excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Kuskokwim near Bethel.

* WHEN...Until 1000 PM AKDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.
River or stream flows are elevated. Ponding of water in areas is
occurring or is imminent.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- As of 318 PM AKDT, water levels remain above minor flood stage,
with a reading of 9 ft at 250 PM AKDT. Water levels are receding.
River gauge reports indicate rises in water levels from the
Kuskokwim River back-up in combination with heavy rain across the
advisory area. This is causing minor flooding from overflow of
poor drainage areas, especially along the Kuskokwim.
- Strong onshore winds along the Kuskokwim coast have limited the
ability for the Kuskokwim River to drain out into the Bering Sea.
This has caused rapid river rises along the coast and inland into
Bethel. Water levels are expected to back up along Brown Slough
and flood low lying areas of Bethel and areas along the
Kuskokwim.
- For Kuskokwim River at Bethel:
At 2:50pm the reading was 9.0 feet.
Flood Stage is 8.5 feet.

Impacts:
At 7.0 feet: Action and bankfull stage.
At 8.5 feet: Minor flood stage. Water starts to back up along Brown
Slough and flood low lying areas.
At 12.0 feet: Moderate flood stage.
At 14.0 feet: Major flood stage.
