Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 4:39 PM AKDT on May 19, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 24, 2013


... Flood Watch in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Friday
afternoon for the Yukon river from Rampart to Tanana...

The National Weather Service in Fairbanks has issued a

* Flood Watch for the Yukon river from Rampart to Tanana

* from Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon

* the breakup front on the upper Yukon river was located between
Circle and Fort Yukon Sunday afternoon. The surge of water and
ice associated with this breakup front caused major flooding in
Circle Sunday. It is expected to 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.
