...High Water Levels Along the Yukon River Into the Weekend...

Water levels on the Yukon River will continue to rise and reach
bankfull and likely go overbank in low lying areas over the next 
few days. A large ice jam upriver from Ruby released on Sunday and
this surge of water is currently moving down the Yukon River.
Additionally, water from snowmelt is moving down the river as
well. Some low lying fish camps or remote cabins along the river 
could be impacted. At this time, flooding is not expected in 
Grayling, Anvik, or Holy Cross but residents should be prepared 
for high water by moving items away from the river. The NWS will 
continue to monitor this situation and provide updates if 
conditions change.

At Russian Mission, an ice jam is causing significant flooding in
the community. See the Flood Warning for Russian Mission for more
details.
