...ELEVATED WATER LEVELS FOR KUSKOKWIM RIVER AND KUSKOKWIM DELTA
COAST THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING...
UPDATE: Based on forecast winds and water levels, flooding continues
to look very unlikely along Kuskokwim River and the coast. However,
higher water levels and winds gusting up to 30 to 45 mph may still
impact activities along the water.
For communities along Kuskokwim River (Tuntutuliak):
* Gusty winds and storm surge pushing up the river will likely cause
water levels to reach bankfull.
* Flooding will be very unlikely as high water currently in McGrath
and Crooked Creek is now forecast to arrive in the lower Kuskokwim
River after the storm surge has subsided.
* Timing: Water levels will be highest during high tide, which will
be from around 11 AM through 3 PM on Friday.
For communities along the coast (Kongiganak, Kwigillingok, Kipnuk,
Toksook Bay, Tununak):
* Though there will be gusty onshore winds and storm surge, water
levels will very likely remain below 1 to 2 feet above the normal
highest tide, with no flooding expected.
* Timing: Water levels will be highest during high tide on Friday,
from about 10 AM through 2 PM. Communities further north (like
Toksook Bay and Tununak) may see higher water levels during
Thursday nights high tide as well, from about 10 PM through 2 AM.
Next steps:
* Use caution along Kuskokwim River and along the coast, and plan for
higher than normal water levels.
* Send weather or flooding reports to inws.ncep.noaa.gov/report/ or
by calling 1-907-266-5127.

...ELEVATED WATER LEVELS ALONG KUSKOKWIM AND JOHNSON RIVERS THROUGH
FRIDAY EVENING
UPDATE: Based on upstream river observations and forecast winds,
flooding looks very unlikely along the Kuskokwim and Johnson Rivers.
However, bankfull conditions and winds gusting up to 30 to 45 mph may
still impact activities along the river.
Hydrologic Concerns:
* Gusty winds and storm surge pushing up the river will likely cause
water levels to reach bankfull.
* Flooding will be very unlikely as high water currently in McGrath
and Crooked Creek is now forecast to arrive in the lower Kuskokwim
River after the storm surge has subsided.
Locations:
* Along Kuskokwim River, from Bethel south to Napakiak.
* Along Johnson River, from Nunapitchuk and Kasigluk south to the
Kuskokwim River.
Timing:
* Highest water levels will likely occur around high tide on Friday,
from about 12 PM through 5 PM.
* Strongest winds (south to southwesterly, gusting up to 30 to 45
mph) from about 1 AM through 4 PM Friday.
Next Steps:
* Use caution along the Kuskokwim and Johnson Rivers, and plan for
higher than normal water levels.
* Send weather or flooding reports to inws.ncep.noaa.gov/report/ or
by calling 1-907-266-5127.
