Narrative:
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.
