* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR MELTING SNOW IN...
MATANUSKA VALLEY ALONG THE MATANUSKA RIVER NEAR SUTTON AND NEAR
MAUD ROAD (BUTTE AREA)
* UNTIL 500 PM AKDT THURSDAY
* HIGH TEMPERATURES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE BROUGHT THE

AND FLOODING LAST YEAR. LEVELS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO RISE
THROUGH MIDWEEK BEFORE TEMPERATURES MODERATE AND LEVELS START TO
FALL.
EXPECTED IMPACTS:
A CHANNEL SHIFT IN THE MATANUSKA RIVER HAS RESULTED IN FLOODING AND

AREAS CLOSE TO THE RIVER THAT EXPERIENCED FLOODING AND SIGNIFICANT
BANK EROSION SHOULD BE PREPARED TO MOVE BELONGINGS TO HIGHER GROUND
AND TO RETREAT TO SAFER LOCATIONS IF FLOODING BEGINS.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
