ADDITIONAL DETAILS - Temperatures in the Brooks Range will be warming into the 60s and low 70s for highs and staying above freezing with low temperatures in the upper 30s to mid 40s over the next several days. The Arctic Plain and Coast will have temperatures ranging from about 40F to 60F with lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s. - Rain is expected from Sunday night through Wednesday morning across a wide swath of the Brooks Range and North Slope with amounts ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 inches. - Most of the remaining snowpack is in the foothills and mountains where temperatures and rainfall will be highest. The combination of snow melt and rainfall is increasingly likely to result in river rises. - Most of the ice on the larger rivers has already moved out which leaves more room to accommodate the snowmelt and rainfall. This contrasts with last year's late breakup when the snowmelt all entered the river systems while ice was mainly still in place. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc ISSUED AT Sunday, June 14, 2026 at 10:52 AM AKDT ISSUED BY National Weather Service Fairbanks AK HEADER URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED | Flood Watch # PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS -------------------- You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings.
