Continued rains set to raise the Tanana River just one foot shy of flood height.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska - Ongoing summer showers are forecast to raise the Tanana River into the action stage - nearing a flood, “but just barely,” said Ben Bartos , a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fairbanks .
Still below the action stage, the Tanana River is quite high, submerging sandbars and the like. As rains continue through the weekend however, it’s forecasted to just barely reach the action stage Sunday evening, coming about one foot away from a flood. It is expected that when the river height peaks on Sunday, it will be about 23.5 feet high.
While there is no threat of flooding in the foreseeable future, the Tanana River has seen floods around this time of year, most recently in August of 2023.
