Procedure; Human Factors
On the River Visual to 19 when maneuvering we received an obstacle alert from GPWS. The approach was set up right in the FMS and I was only slightly below the snowflake; however the descent rate was around 1500 fpm which I was actively correcting and may have led to the alert. Keep descent rates at 1000 fpm or less even above 1000 feet and turn earlier on the River Visual 19.
CRJ-700 First Officer reported receiving a GPWS Alert during River Visual 19 approach possibly due to a high descent rate.
