Area waterways are returning to more normal levels after swelling with the weekend’s rain.
Only one river gauge, the Talkeetna railroad bridge, went into Action stage as a result of the rising water. Action stage is one step below flooding. As of Monday, the Talkeetna River is listed at the low end of action stage, and is forecast to continue receding in coming days.
