Houston, AK Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.

Please carefully read each posted Warning and Alert as it relates to the area(s) being affected. We may provide a wider range of issued severe weather warnings for surrounding cities and counties, so some alerts may not directly impact this location. This is done to help with preparing for severe weather that may overlap or be heading towards Houston.

Special Weather Statement issued June 12 at 3:54PM AKDT by NWS Anchorage AK

Continued southerly, onshore flow into the Kuskokwim Delta coast is expected. Winds increase tonight, peaking by Friday evening with gusts to 45 mph. This continued push of wind is expected to amplify the tidal cycle, potentially pushing water levels higher than the normal highest tide line. Coastal erosion and flooding of low lying areas is possible. Wind speeds are expected to weaken and shift easterly by late this weekend. We will continue to monitor the forecast as the storm develops. Coastal residents should stay alert, and take appropriate action to prepare for potential water rises.

Flood Watch issued June 12 at 10:53AM AKDT until June 17 at 4:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK

* WHAT...Flooding caused by snowmelt continues to be possible. * WHERE...Including the following areas, rivers and creeks draining the Brooks Range including areas around the Central Arctic Plains, Central Beaufort Sea Coast, Eastern Beaufort Sea Coast, and Western Arctic Plains. This includes the Colville, Kuparuk, Sag, and Canning Rivers. * WHEN...From Friday morning through Tuesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Rapid snowmelt and ice jams could lead to flooding of rivers and streams across the North Slope. Access to roads, airstrips, and low-lying infrastructure may be affected. High flows could lead to bank erosion that could threaten nearby roads. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Flooding is possible across the North Slope due to an unusually deep and persistent late-season snowpack combined with a sharp and prolonged warming trend through the rest of the week into the weekend. Snowpack remains largely intact across the North Slope, with some sites reporting near record snowpack levels for this time of year. A rapid onset of snowmelt is expected as temperatures warm into the 50's and 60's across the north side of the Brooks Range, with interior portions of the North Slope expected to potentially warm into the 70s by the weekend. Intact ice remains on many of the larger rivers, and the sudden influx of snowmelt runoff could lead to ice jam formation. These jams can cause sudden and severe rises in water levels, posing a significant threat to roads or other infrastructure near the affected waterways. River levels are expected to begin rising within the next 24 hours and will likely crest by the end of the weekend into early next week. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc
