Flood Watch
Issued: 11:36 PM Sep. 14, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM TUESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SATURDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, Fairbanks, North Pole, Two Rivers, Fort Wainwright, Ester, and Fox * WHEN...From Tuesday afternoon through Saturday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Heavy rain may result in minor flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Chena River is running higher than normal and will continue to be high through the week. More rain is expected beginning Tuesday and will continue through Wednesday afternoon. Storm total rainfall during this time will be around 0.50" to 1.00". It has been very wet lately and this amount of rain has the potential to bring the Chena and Little Chena Rivers above minor flood stage beginning Wednesday. - This means low-lying and typical flood-prone areas may experience areas of flooding from Wednesday through the end of the week as water levels gradually rise then fall. In addition, while we are not expecting much flooding away from rivers, streams and creeks, as the ground is already saturated and may struggle to hold more water. This can lead to pooling and ponding of water across the area which may make travel difficult in localized spots. - There is some uncertainty with exact timing and amounts of rainfall but as details become clearer, we will continue to update. - For more updated river information, please refer to water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information. You should monitor the latest forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. &&
