flood watch advisory<\/a> expired at 10 p.m. Wednesday. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t“It was just a very, rather quick moving AR (atmospheric river) and not particularly as powerful as the previous one that we got last weekend,” he said. “But we did see those rivers still rise. And it was a lot of like the smaller streams because we got that really intense rainfall for such a short period — get those spikes in places like Jordan Creek, places like Montana Creek. We’ll still see rises in Mendenhall Lake and Auke Lake through this evening and into tomorrow because it has a delayed effect as all that water starts to get into the lake and get into the river. I’d still expect to see a lot of the bigger bodies of water still raising through the evening. But you’ll start to see a lot of those smaller creeks — like Montana, like Jordan — you’ll start to see those drop pretty rapidly as soon as the precip’ stops.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
The precipitation beginning again on Friday is not expected to be as strong as this past atmospheric river, he added.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t
