  upstream.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At Noon AKDT Tuesday May 5th, the River Watch team observed
    breakup  in the Kuskokwim River from the mouth of the Holokuk
    River to Napaimute. Ice downstream of Napaimute was observed
    to be solid and holding. This may result in water rises.

    Now is the time to take precautions. When possible, move
    items to higher ground and prepare your community for
    possible flooding.

...HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE
YUKON RIVER...

...Locations Impacted...
Yukon Flats

The Yukon River at Eagle broke up Tuesday morning.  As of 10am the
local breakup front had not yet reached Calico Bluffs.

Aerial observations yesterday found all Yukon tributaries from the
Canadian border to Coal Creek open and creating small areas of open
water where they entered the Yukon. The ice in the same region was
showing signs of weakening.

A flood watch was issued for the Upper Yukon region (Canadian border
to Coal Creek). Ice jams may form as the breakup front progresses
downriver and cause localized flooding.

Downstream of Coal Creek the ice appeared to be stronger (more
white/blue ice) and more remnant snow remained in the low lands.

RiverWatch flights will begin on Wednesday (weather permitting) and
updates on breakup progression will be provided as information is
available.

...HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON FOR THE
YUKON RIVER BREAK UP...

...Locations Impacted...
Fortymile Country-Yukon Flats

The National Weather Service and River Forecast Center have been
monitoring the Yukon River breakup in the Yukon. Currently,
tributaries of the Yukon River are breaking up and water levels
upriver from Dawson are rising. The Fortymile River in Alaska and
Klondike River in Canada have also broken up. Many smaller rivers
are flowing high in the Yukon as well. In addition to this, warmer
temperatures are causing snow to melt quicker which will lead to
more water going into the river systems. The River Watch team will
begin flying early this week which will give us more insight into
the river ice conditions. Over the next several days, we should
begin to see changes on the Yukon River towards the AlCan Border and
will continue monitoring as we head further into breakup season.
