Rain falling onto roadways with blocked or frozen drainage may cause
ponding and localized flooding. Hydroplaning is likely in areas
with significant water build up. Colder air moving in rapidly behind
this system Friday morning will quickly transition rain back to
snow. The rapid return to freezing temperatures will quickly
refreeze any water on area roadways, creating hazardous conditions.

Southern Kenai Mtns-
Including the cities of Seward
449 PM AKST Thu Jan 15 2026

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall and frozen ground
  surfaces is possible.

* WHERE...The following area, Southern Kenai Mtns. This includes the
  city of Seward.

* WHEN...Through Friday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff from rainfall, frozen ground surfaces,
  and snowmelt may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams,
  and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Flooding may occur
  in poor drainage and urban areas. Snow covered storm drains will
  exacerbate any ponding on roadways.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - An atmospheric river will bring warmer temperatures and heavy
    rainfall  at lower elevations to the eastern Kenai Peninsula,
    including Seward. The long stretch of cold weather has
    resulted in frozen ground surfaces which will allow for
    increased runoff concerns. Up to several inches of rainfall
    is expected and will lead to ponding on roadways and
    localized flooding in low-lying areas and areas where storm
    drains remain covered with snow. Expect rises on area creeks
    and rivers.

  - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

  - Storm drains should be cleared of snow as much as possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.

Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,
television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.
