ESFAFC Recent and continuing warm weather and widespread rainfall have led to rising creek and stream levels from the Kenai Peninsula north into the Mat-Su Valleys. Overflow has been reported on creeks and over existing trails. Increased streamflows may also lead to localized ice jams. Those traveling on backcountry trails are encouraged to take extra caution around area streams, rivers and trails, as water may degrade ice and create difficult or hazardous conditions. For Urban areas, recent snowmelt and rain is ponding on area roads, and will likely linger until drains are cleared or melt. Motorists should exercise caution driving through puddles, as they may be deeper than they appear. Additional warm and wet weather is expected this weekend, which may lead to additional river rises and overflow conditions.
