FLASH FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK
500 PM ADT TUESDAY JUN 26 2001

A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS IN EFFECT FOR SMALL CREEKS BETWEEN BIRCH
CREEK AND THE EAST FORK OF THE CHENA RIVER THROUGH 1100 PM TONIGHT.

WEATHER RADAR SHOWED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS DROPPED FROM ONE TO TWO
INCHES OF RAIN IN THIS AREA LATE TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THIS HIGH AMOUNT
OF RAIN WILL LIKELY CAUSE SOME SMALL CREEKS AND TRIBUTARIES TO
OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS. BIRCH CREEK AND THE CHENA RIVER ITSELF ARE TOO
LARGE TO FLOOD FROM THIS RAIN...ALTHOUGH THEY WILL SEE SOME RISE
TONIGHT. ONLY THE VERY SMALL CREEKS IN HILLY TERRAIN ARE VULNERABLE
TO FLOODING.

A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING IN
SMALL CREEKS. CAMPERS OR TRAVELERS SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

THE NEXT FLASH FLOOD STATEMENT WILL BE ISSUED AT 800 PM OR SOONER IF
NECESSARY.
