Fairbanks Metro Area-Two Rivers After recent rains, the Chena River is expected to rise through Monday afternoon and crest around 22.5 ft below Moose Creek Dam. This level would be right at action stage and those near or along the river will notice that the Chena is at bankfull. We do not anticipate flooding from this, but it is possible that groundwater levels rise, resulting in localized water pooling in typical low lying and poor drainage areas. For more information, visit water.noaa.gov or weather.gov/aprfc for the river gage forecast. $$ BB
