* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 1026 AM AKDT, The last few weeks of warm temperatures
    combined with bank erosion have led to high water breaking
    through the banks of the Matanuska River between the Old
    Glenn Highway and the River in the Maud Road area. Water
    levels are expected to remain steady following diurnal trends
    in snow and glacial melt upriver. Cooler temperatures this
    weekend should allow for less snow and glacial melt compared
    to previous days. However, periods of rain are expected
    Saturday evening through Monday morning, with 0.10" to 0.20"
    of rain possible around the Palmer and Butte areas through
    Monday morning.

  - For Matanuska River at Palmer:
    At 9:30am the stage was 14250.0 cfs.
