CHUKCHI SEA COAST

Areas Affected:
Southern Seward Peninsula Coast - Interior Seward Peninsula
Effective: Tue, 10/27 3:36pm Updated: Wed, 10/28 12:25am Urgency: Future

ESFAFG

Areas of concern are between Nome and Council, particularity streams
and rivers draining the south aspects of the high elevation terrain
of the Seward Peninsula.

Rivers and streams in the Nome and Council area are already high
following rainfall over the weekend. 1-3 more inches of precipitation
are expected by the end of the week which will keep water levels
high.

No flooding is expected at this time, however residents living near
local rivers and streams should be vigilant of the potential for ice
in culverts and other stream passage structures to restrict flow
resulting water flowing over roads in affected areas.
