FOR THE YUKON RIVER AT FORT YUKON...
FORT YUKON RESIDENTS REPORT THAT A LARGE RUN OF ICE STRETCHING FROM
BANK TO BANK IS NOW MOVING PAST FORT YUKON. THEY SAID THE WATER

TIME.
FLOODING AT FORT YUKON WILL CONTINUE TONIGHT WITH MINOR FLUCTUATIONS
FROM THE CURRENT WATER LEVEL. AFTER THE CURRENT RUN OF ICE IS PAST
FORT YUKON THE WATER LEVEL SHOULD BEGIN TO SLOWLY FALL ON THURSDAY.
RESIDENTS ARE URGED TO MONITOR THE SITUATION AND CONTINUE TO BE
ALERT FOR CHANGES IN RIVER LEVELS. THEY SHOULD ACT NOW TO PROTECT
LIVES AND PROPERTY.

339 PM AKDT TUE MAY 21 2013
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE YUKON RIVER FROM RAMPART TO TANANA...
THE FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR
* THE YUKON RIVER FROM RAMPART TO TANANA.
* FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH FRIDAY AFTERNOON
* THE BREAKUP FRONT ON THE UPPER YUKON RIVER WAS LOCATED JUST
UPSTREAM FROM FORT YUKON TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THE SURGE OF
WATER AND ICE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS BREAKUP FRONT CAUSED MAJOR
FLOODING IN CIRCLE SUNDAY AND SIMILAR FLOODING IS EXPECTED IN
FORT YUKON. THE FRONT WILL CONTINUE DOWNRIVER AND REACH
RAMPART AND THEN TANANA BETWEEN WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY.
* THE RIVER WATCH TEAM HAS DETERMINED THAT THE ICE FROM FORT
YUKON TO STEVENS VILLAGE APPEARS TO BE DETERIORATING...ARCHED
AND LIFTING. THE SURGE OF WATER AND ICE ASSOCIATED WITH THE
BREAKUP FRONT IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO TRAVEL DOWNRIVER
STEADILY AND BECOME MORE SPREAD OUT REDUCING THE AMOUNT THE
RIVER WILL RISE. HOWEVER ANY RESISTANCE TO THE ONCOMING
BREAKUP FRONT COULD ALLOW THE WATER TO AGAIN COLLECT BEHIND AN
ICE JAM AND INCREASE THE FLOOD RISK TO DOWNSTREAM COMMUNITIES.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS.
RESIDENTS SHOULD MONITOR CONDITIONS AND TAKE PRECAUTIONS EARLY TO
PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY. WATER LEVELS CAN RISE VERY QUICKLY
WHEN AN ICE JAM OCCURS DOWNSTREAM OF A COMMUNITY.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE
FLOOD WARNINGS. THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE
PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.
