...HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING FOR
POTENTIAL FLOODING...
...Locations Impacted...
Yukon Delta
As of noon Wednesday, an Ice Jam near Russian Mission has caused
water to back up from Russian Mission to Anvik. When the ice jam
eventually releases this water will flow towards the Yukon Delta.
Most large Yukon River ice jams during recent years decay, erode and
fail within a few days. The current jam at Russian Mission has been
in place for over 3 days. Water levels are expected to quickly rise
as the backwater makes its way downriver impacting communities like
Emmonak, Alakanuk, Nunam Iqua, and Kotlik.
