  - At 149 PM AKDT, high water from rapid snowmelt over the past
    five days has caused rising water levels along the Kuparuk
    River, resulting in minor flooding near the river`s mouth.
    - Floodwaters have been reported flowing over low-lying
    crossings on Spine Road, which remains closed to all traffic.
    - River levels are expected to crest within the next 24 to 48
    hours, followed by a gradual decline through the end of the
    week. Continued impacts to infrastructure near the river`s
    mouth are possible as elevated water levels persist.

    flooded roadways.
