...SUICIDE BASIN HAS STARTED TO OVERTOP...

The latest camera imagery and water level data from inside the basin
showed a slight drop in water level and this is indicating that
water has started to flow over the top of the ice dam a short time
ago. Now is the time to finalize your flood preparation for
potential flooding impacts along the Mendenhall Lake and River.

In the past it has taken up to 6 days for a release to start. The
NWS will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as
needed including updating this statement within the next 8 hours so
check back on this evolving situation.
