* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...The following areas, Anchorage Bowl and Eagle River. This
includes the cities of Anchorage, Eagle River, Eklutna, and Indian.
* WHEN...From 4 AM AKDT Monday through Monday evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
in poor drainage and urban areas. Water levels on the Chester and
Campbell Creeks will remain elevated through Tuesday morning.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Around one inch of rain has already fallen across the
Anchorage Bowl as of Sunday afternoon. The steady rainfall
continuing across West Anchorage and JBER as of 5pm is likely
(60-70%) to taper off to a very light rain or sprinkles by
later this evening. A second round of moderate to heavy rain
is then likely (80-90%) to develop just in time for the
Monday morning commute through Monday evening before tapering
off. An additional 0.50" to 1" of rain is likely (70-80%)
with a low chance (10-20%) of amounts exceeding 1". This
second round of rain on top of already saturated ground may
lead to further ponding of water on area roads, localized
urban flooding, and increased water levels for area creeks
and streams. Additional rainfall may also lead to rockfalls
along the Seward Highway south of Anchorage.

ESFAFC
Local reports and river gage data indicate a glacier dammed lake
release on the Kennicott River near McCarthy. Water levels on the
Kennicott are currently rising and will continue to rise over the
next 24-48 hours, cresting at or prior to Monday evening.
At this time, the river is expected to crest below minor flood
stage. Widespread flooding is not anticipated, although the
following hazards will be present:
-Significant water level rises (feet/day)
-Bank erosion: Fast moving water may undercut riverbanks
-Debris: Increased flow can carry large debris, including trees and
wood
Recreationalists, hikers and packrafters in the McCarthy area and
along the Kennicott River should exercise extreme caution. Avoid
parking vehicles and camping near the immediate riverbanks. Do not
attempt to cross fast flowing water.
Harrison Lagoon Cabin
Harrison Lagoon Cabin is located roughly 10 miles from the potential Barry Arm Landslide. At this time, there is no indication that a landslide is imminent. However, landslides can happen at any time, and it is suggested that those who recreate in Prince William Sound remain vigilant, have several ways to receive emergency information, and be ready to move to high ground with little to no warning. Should this landslide fall into the water, it has the potential to generate a tsunami that could have devastating effects including demolishing the cabin. For more information please visit the [Barry Arm Landslide and Tsunami Hazard][1] website from the State of Alaska. [1]: https://dggs.alaska.gov/hazards/barry-arm-landslide.html
