Recent and continuing warm weather and widespread rainfall have led to rising creek and stream levels from the Kenai Peninsula north into the Mat-Su Valleys. Overflow has been reported on creeks and over existing trails. Increased streamflows may also lead to localized ice jams. Those traveling on backcountry trails are encouraged to take extra caution around area streams, rivers and trails, as water may degrade ice and create difficult or hazardous conditions. Additional warm and wet weather is expected this weekend, which may lead to additional river rises and overflow conditions. $$ CJ
