Event:
Special Weather Statement
Urgency:
Expected
Effective:
October 1, 2026 - 7:08am
Expires:
October 1, 2026 - 3:15pm
Description:
The latest camera imagery from inside the basin showed a drop in
water level with a corresponding rise in water levels on Mendenhall
Lake overnight. This could be an
indication that a basin release has started. NWS hydrologists and
meteorologists along with their partners are
assessing and analyzing the information.
Water levels in the basin are around 200 ft below where it was
before the release in August so if it is a release, the crest should
be much lower.
Now is the time to start preparing for potential flooding impacts
along the Mendenhall Lake and River.
This statement will be updated within the next 24 hours so check
back on this possible evolving situation.
For Mendenhall Lake :
At 3:45am the stage was 4.5 feet.
Flood Stage is 9.0 feet.
