...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...The following areas, Susitna Valley and Hatcher Pass. This
  includes the cities of Skwentna, Willow, Talkeetna, Trapper Creek,
  Petersville, and Chulitna.

* WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon.

* 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. Low-water
  crossings may be flooded. Area rivers, creeks, and streams are
  elevated from the previous rain event and will likely rise again
  during these next rain events.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Two additional storm systems will bring rain to the Susitna
    Valley, the first Tuesday afternoon through Wednesday morning
    and the second Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon.
    0.50" to 1" of rain is likely (70-80%) with the first event
    with an additional 1.0" to 2.5" of rain likely (70-80%) with
    the second event. The track of both systems will favor the
    highest rainfall totals over the northern and eastern
    Susitna, along the Talkeetna Mountains. As a result, fast
    responding rivers and streams along and east of the Parks
    Highway may be more susceptible to flooding with this event.
