Areal Flood Watch

Statement as of 6:49 PM AKDT on May 21, 2013

Expires 8:00 PM EDT on May 26, 2013


... Flood Watch remains in effect from Thursday afternoon through
Sunday afternoon for the Yukon river from Rampart to Tanana...

The Flood Watch continues for

* the Yukon river from Rampart to Tanana.

* From Thursday afternoon through Sunday 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 surge of water and ice associated with the
breakup front is expected to continue to travel downriver and
reach Rampart and Tanana between Thursday and Sunday.

* If ice jams form as the break up front moves past then water
levels could rise rapidly and flooding could occur at Rampart
and Tanana between Thursday and Sunday.

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.
