HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE ANCHORAGE AK
800 PM AKDT Sat Jun 21 2025

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A RIVER STATEMENT FOR THE
MATANUSKA RIVER. NO SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IS EXPECTED AT THIS
TIME.

Warm temperatures and bank erosion have lead 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 be near peak levels Saturday evening
and then very slowly recede over the next few days as
temperatures drop and lessens the snow melt in the mountains
upriver.

However, since this is largely driven by new erosion along the
riverbank, persons in this area should continue to monitor the
situation.

THIS STATEMENT WILL NOT BE UPDATED.
