Flood Warning Issued in Juneau, Alaska

A significant low-pressure system near Russia is causing diverse weather impacts across Alaska, with coastal flooding warnings in effect for western areas and snow expected in parts of the Interior and Susitna Valley. In Southcentral Alaska, warmer temperatures reaching the 40s are predicted, leading to rain as the predominant precipitation type, while a winter weather advisory is active for mixed precipitation in the Susitna Valley. Meanwhile, Juneau is under a flood warning due to a glacial lake outburst from Suicide Basin, which has historically flooded the region since 2011. Residents have been advised to prepare for moderate flooding, with water levels expected to peak at 3.35 to 3.5 meters. Recent snow has made riverbanks slippery, raising safety concerns as locals brace for potential impacts. The Mendenhall River has previously broken records during floods, with significant damage reported in August, affecting around 100 homes.
