LOCATION/KNOWN FLOOD AREA (KFA): Local small rivers and streams in the Anchorage
area, including but not limited to Campbell Creek, Chester Creek, Ship Creek and 
Peters Creek

PRODUCT TYPE: ESF

EXPIRATION TIME: Wed Dec 17

PRIMARY CAUSE: 
	Options: Freeze up

BASIS: Recent and forecast abnormally cold temperatures are causing rivers and streams
       in Southcentral Alaska to rapidly freeze up. During rapid freeze up situations,
       rapid stage increases are likely as anchor and shore ice form and channel 
       conveyance capacity decreases, causing ice jams and dams to develop. Expect 
       localized flooding upstream of any ice jams that form until freeze up is 
       complete.
