Flooding caused by high water and heavy ice runs continues to be possible.
WHERE
Lower Yukon River. This includes the communities of Kotlik and Nunam Iqua.
WHEN
Through late Monday night.
IMPACTS
High water may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
- As of Sunday evening, the River Watch Team reports thick bank to bank ice flowing steadily from Mountain Village downstream for approximately 30 miles. This ice could reach the coastal communities as early as Sunday night into Monday. The high water that has caused flooding in upstream areas will arrive in conjunction with this ice run. Based on the very high water levels seen at the gauge at Pilot Station, communities could see the highest water levels since 1989. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc
