Bands of showers were rotating around a low in the eastern Gulf of Alaska. A very strong shower remained in place over the Juneau airport area including the drainage basin of Jordan Creek for 2 hours. The very heavy rainfall was a 50 year return period and produced significant amount of runoff to cause Jordan Creek to rapidly rise out of its banks to produce moderate flooding.
