Alaska Unknown Hydrologic Outlook | Effective 09/13/2026 15:59

ESFAFC Locations: * Willow and Talkeetna * Rivers, creeks, and streams with headwaters along the western Talkeetna Mountains Timing: * Monday evening through Wednesday afternoon. Heaviest rainfall expected through Tuesday evening. Rainfall: * Rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches Monday through Wednesday likely won't be high enough for widespread flooding, but smaller tributaries draining the Talkeetnas including Willow Creek and the Little Susitna will likely reach bankfull. Hydrologic Concerns: * Many lower locations along rivers such as gravel bars and other spots popular for camping and recreating may become inundated with water with rivers reaching bankfull conditions. * Heavy rain may result in localized ponding in low-lying areas and locations with poor drainage. Next Steps: * Residents along area streams as well as river users and recreators should anticipate higher than normal water levels and are advised to monitor weather and river forecasts. * Send weather or flooding reports to inws.ncep.noaa.gov/report/ or by calling 1-907-266-5127. * Reports on river conditions may be sent to the river forecast center by calling 1-907-266-5160.
