Areas of concern are between Nome and Council, particularity streams
and rivers draining the south aspects of the high elevation terrain
of the Seward Peninsula.
Rivers and streams in the Nome and Council area are already high
following rainfall over the weekend and early this week. Around 0.25
to 0.50" of additional rain is expected by the end of the week which
will keep water levels high. No flooding is expected but those along
the rivers and streams should be vigilant of the high water that is
expected through the end of the week.
