| Brief Description | Flood Watch | |
| Detailed Description | * WHAT. Flooding caused by snowmelt continues to be possible. * WHERE. Including the following areas, rivers and creeks draining the Brooks Range including areas around the Central Arctic Plains, Central Beaufort Sea Coast, Eastern Beaufort Sea Coast, and Western Arctic Plains. This includes the Colville, Kuparuk, Sag, and Canning Rivers. * WHEN. From Friday morning through Tuesday afternoon. * IMPACTS. Rapid snowmelt and ice jams could lead to flooding of rivers and streams across the North Slope. Access to roads, airstrips, and low-lying infrastructure may be affected. High flows could lead to bank erosion that could threaten nearby roads. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS. - Flooding is possible across the North Slope due to an unusually deep and persistent late-season snowpack combined with a sharp and prolonged warming trend through the rest of the week into the weekend. Snowpack remains largely intact across the North Slope, with some sites reporting near record snowpack levels for this time of year. A rapid onset of snowmelt is expected as temperatures warm into the 50's and 60's across the north side of the Brooks Range, with interior portions of the North Slope expected to potentially warm into the 70s by the weekend. Intact ice remains on many of the larger rivers, and the sudden influx of snowmelt runoff could lead to ice jam formation. These jams can cause sudden and severe rises in water levels, posing a significant threat to roads or other infrastructure near the affected waterways. River levels are expected to begin rising within the next 24 hours and will likely crest by the end of the weekend into early next week. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc |
