Juneau, Alaska

... The Flood Warning remains in effect until 1215 PM akdt Thursday
for a glacial dammed lake outburst for the taku river...

At 900 PM akdt the taku river stage was 42.7 feet and was continuing
to rise.

The taku river will continue to rise into Wednesday and is
forecasted to crest near or above moderate flood stage of 44 feet as
the Glacier dammed lake no lake continues to drain. The taku river
will remain above flood stage into Thursday. People who have
property along the taku river should prepare for high water and make
sure things are tied down or off the ground as water will rise into
yards and into Cabins.

People traveling on the taku river and near Taku Inlet should use
extreme caution as the flood waters are producing hazardous
conditions. Logs and ice chunks are expected to be floating down the
river and the cold water draining from lake no lake will accelerate
the time for hypothermia.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

If you live near or along taku river stay alert and be prepared to
take action.

Remain cautious when in low-lying areas... and report any flooding to
your law enforcement agency. They will relay your report to the
National Weather Service forecast office in Juneau.

Please stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio or your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this situation.
