Basin/River Status: 

Suicide basin released for a second time on October 2nd and the Mendenhall Lake crested at 10.18 ft, just above moderate flood stage of 10ft.  Colder temperatures through the fall and into winter will limit the amount of input into the basin, therefore we do not anticipated another significant release this year.   

NWS will continue to monitor the basin through the rest of fall into the winter months and release any new information as we get it so check back for updates. 

NWS and our partners will be reviewing all the data from the August 2026 event, and will issue a report over the few months. Check back for that in the future.
