...FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM AKDT WEDNESDAY... * WHAT...Flooding caused by onshore flow restricting Kuskokwim River drainage in combination with excessive rainfall is expected. * WHERE...Kuskokwim near Bethel. * WHEN...Until 700 AM AKDT Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas. River or stream flows are elevated. Ponding of water in areas is occurring or is imminent. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 900 PM AKDT, River gauge reports indicate that receding water levels have begun to rise again near Bethel, which remains at minor flood stage. This is due to the Kuskokwim River back-up in combination with heavy rain across the advisory area. Minor flooding will continue from overflow of poor drainage areas, especially along the Kuskokwim. - Strong onshore winds along the Kuskokwim coast have limited the ability for the Kuskokwim River to drain out into the Bering Sea. This has caused rapid river rises along the coast and inland into Bethel. Water levels are expected to back up along Brown Slough and flood low lying areas of Bethel and areas along the Kuskokwim. - For Kuskokwim River at Bethel: At 8:51pm the stage was 9.1 feet.
