Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Anchorage AK
1233 PM AKDT Tue Jun 23 2026

...SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL TODAY INTO EARLY WEDNESDAY WILL BRING
RIVER RISES AND LOCALIZED FLOOD POTENTIAL TO THE SUSITNA VALLEY...

Rainfall:

* Susitna Valley: Widespread rainfall totaling 1 to 2 inches with
  the highest totals likely across the northern and western portions
  of the valley.

Hydrologic Concerns:

* Expect sharp rises on many small streams and rivers. Many smaller
  streams will crest tonight into Wednesday with larger rivers
  cresting Wednesday into Thursday such as the Skwentna and Yentna
  rivers.

* Many lower locations along rivers such as gravel bars and other
  spots popular for camping and recreating may become inundated with
  water with rivers reaching bankful conditions.

* Heavy rain may result in localized ponding in low-lying areas and
  locations with poor drainage.

Confidence and Next Steps:

* Confidence is high that heavy rainfall will occur across
  portions of Southcentral Alaska, with the northern/western
  Susitna Valley receiving the heaviest rainfall.

* Residents along area streams as well as river users and
  recreationists should anticipate higher than normal water levels
  and are advised to monitor weather and river forecasts.

* Reports on river conditions may be sent to the river forecast
  center by calling 1-907-266-5160.
