Flood Watch issued May 7 at 10:44AM AKDT until May 8 at 6:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK * WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam is possible. * WHERE...The Yukon River near Circle * WHEN...Through Wednesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Residents of Circle should be aware that the breakup front on the Yukon river is approaching and expected to reach Circle later today or Wednesday. No overbank flooding has been reported yet. However, as the breakup front moves downstream towards Circle it is likely that small jams will form and release, leading to rapidly changing water levels with the potential for minor or moderate flooding at Circle. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The ice jam broke 29 miles upstream of Circle this morning. Ice is currently moving freely upstream from Circle but has the possibility to reform an ice jam as the breakup front makes it way downriver to Circle. If ice remains flowing freely, the breakup front could reach Circle as early as 3PM today, 5/7. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc If you live near or along the Yukon River near Circle stay alert and be prepared to take action. Move vehicles and other valuables to higher ground now. 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.
