292 FGAK78 PAFC 102155 ESFAFC AKZ701-702-122200- Hydrologic Outlook National Weather Service Anchorage AK 1255 PM AKST Wed Dec 10 2025 ...FREEZE UP FOR SMALL RIVERS AND STREAMS IN THE ANCHORAGE AREA... Recent and forecast abnormally cold temperatures are causing rivers and streams in Southcentral Alaska to rapidly freeze up. During rapid freeze up situations, rapid stage increases are likely as anchor and shore ice form and channel conveyance capacity decreases, causing ice jams and dams to develop. Expect localized flooding upstream of any ice jams that form until freeze up is complete. Locations Affected: Local small rivers and streams in the Anchorage area, including but not limited to Campbell Creek, Chester Creek, Ship Creek and Peters Creek. $$ Mitchell
