A strong and moist weather front moved over the northern inner channels of Southeast Alaska from August 13th through the 15th. Rain amounts ranged from three quarters of an inch near sea level with amounts as high as one and three quarters of an inch at higher elevations. This weather system was warm in nature and created high freezing levels to continue the increased runoff from snow or ice melt. The added rainfall along with the snow and ice melt produced a one in a half rise on the Taiya River water levels. The river was already at high flows and went over moderate flood stage of seventeen feet in the afternoon of August 14th. The Taiya River crested in the late evening at seventeen point sixty-two feet. The rain diminished through the night and by the late morning of August 15th the water levels were below flood stage.
