Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, May 19, 2013.

Severe thunderstorm activity will persist for the Plains on Sunday as a broad low pressure system continues trekking through the region. The system will move from the Northern Plains and into the Great Lakes, creating two frontal boundaries. The warm front associated with this system will extend eastward over the Great Lakes and into the Northeast, kicking up scattered showers and thunderstorms into Sunday night. At the same time, a cold front extends southward from this system which will move off the Central Rockies and into the Central and Southern Plains. Counter-clockwise flow around this broad system will pull moisture and energy into the Plains from the Gulf of Mexico. This will support moderate to heavy showers and thunderstorms in between these two fronts. This system has a history of severe thunderstorm development across the Northern and Central Plains, thus, there is a moderate risk of severe thunderstorm development with large hail, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes. These severe thunderstorms will most likely develop across central and eastern Oklahoma, through eastern Kansas, and into western Missouri. A slight risk of severe storm development remains in effect from northern Texas, through southern Minnesota and Wisconsin on Sunday. At the same time, the back side of this system will continue spreading moisture over the Intermountain West and Rockies. This will trigger more showers with isolated thunderstorms over the region through Sunday evening.

Meanwhile in the East, a trough of low pressure slowly moves over the East Coast and maintains shower and thunderstorm activity for the Mid-Atlantic states through the Northeast.

Areal Flood Advisory
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 4:41 PM AKDT on May 18, 2013

... Flood Advisory in effect until 1000 PM akdt Sunday for the Tanana
river in Salcha...

The National Weather Service in Fairbanks has extended the

* Flood Advisory for ice jam flooding for the Tanana river in Salcha

* until 1000 PM akdt Sunday

* an ice jam remains in place on the Tanana river approximately
1/2 mile downstream of the boondox bar in Salcha.

* The Tanana river is flowing overbank in the vicinity of the
boondox bar in Salcha. Salcha Rescue reports flooding continues on
the south end of the old Richardson Highway and the Road is
impassable. Minor flooding is impacting several residential yards
and has surrounded several homes in the area. Flooding is not
impacting the main Richardson Highway.

Water levels have been fluctuating by several feet and will
continue as additional ice moves down the Tanana river and
hangs up behind the ice jam. At this time the Tanana river is
not flowing into piledriver Slough. Residents near the boondox bar
and along the old Richardson Highway are encouraged to monitor
the level of the Tanana river and piledriver Slough. Flooding
will likely persist until the ice jam releases.

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.
