YUKON FLATS AND SURROUNDING UPLANDS AK- 208 PM AKDT MON MAY 20 2013 ...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT TO 1000 PM AKDT TUESDAY FOR THE YUKON RIVER AT FORT YUKON... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN FAIRBANKS HAS EXTENDED THE FLOOD WARNING FOR FORT YUKON UNTIL 1000 PM AKDT TUESDAY A LARGE SHEET OF ICE 12 MILES UPSTREAM OF FORT YUKON IS CONTINUING TO BLOCK MUCH OF THE RIVER CHANNEL CAUSING WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF LOWLANDS SOUTHEAST OF FORT YUKON. WHEN THE ICE SHEET ERODES ENOUGH THE MOVEMENT OF THIS LARGE AREA OF WATER COULD ACT MUCH LIKE A DAM BREAK. FORT YUKON IS CURRENTLY EXPERIENCING MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING AREAS. IF THIS ICE JAM RELEASES SUDDENLY IT COULD RESULT IN MAJOR FLOODING THROUGHOUT FORT YUKON. THIS ICE JAM IS LIKELY TO BREAK WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE HOURS RELEASING A LARGE SURGE OF WATER AND ICE. THIS COULD FLOOD AT LEAST THE PORTIONS OF FORT YUKON WHICH WERE FLOODED IN 2009. RESIDENTS SHOULD EXPECT A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN THE RIVER WHEN THE ICE JAM RELEASES. THE FLOODING COULD BE MADE EVEN WORSE IF A NEW ICE JAM FORMS IN THE ICE DOWN RIVER FROM FORT YUKON. THEY SHOULD ACT NOW TO PROTECT LIVES AND PROPERTY. THEY SHOULD MONITOR THE SITUATION. A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING. WATER LEVELS CAN RISE RAPIDLY AND PEOPLE ALONG THE RIVER ARE ENCOURAGED TO MOVE PROPERTY TO HIGHER GROUND AWAY FROM THE RIVER BANK.
