* WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam continues. * WHERE...the Kuskokwim River near Tuluksak. * WHEN...Until 1215 PM AKDT Thursday. * IMPACTS...Flooding of the Kuskokwim River...Tuluksak River and sloughs and other low-lying and flood-prone locations are occurring. High water may continue to impact the water treatment facility. As of Tuesday afternoon, water was within 1-2 feet of impacting the Tuluksak runway and was encroaching on buildings in the community. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 628 PM AKDT, the primary ice jam on the Kuskokwim River is located downstream of Akiak, this jam is causing flooding at Tuluksak. Cold temperatures are helping keep the jams in place and slowing their movement. As of Tuesday afternoon, a run of ice is passing Kalskag. Tuesday evening or overnight the ice will likely reach the Akiak jam, which may increase water levels at Tuluksak. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood - If you live near or along the Kuskokwim River, stay alert and be prepared to take action.

Benign conditions across the Eastern Aleutians on Tuesday are expected to deteriorate through the morning hours on Wednesday. A polar low dropping southward through the Bering will bring strengthening westerly winds as well as increasing precipitation. Furthermore, cooler temperatures associated with the low will promote a transition from rain to snow. Expect wind gusts as high as 45 mph and total snow accumulations of around an inch or two. Snow should come to an end by or before midday while gusty winds linger into Wednesday evening.

Beginning Tuesday afternoon, a pair of systems will move into the panhandle, bringing with them windy conditions and heavy rain at times. The first system will arrive Tuesday evening with gusty winds up to 40 to 50 mph to parts of the southern panhandle and outer coast that will last most of the night. Winds increase along the coast after 4pm and spread into the inner channels through evening. Expect the winds to diminish after 3 am Wednesday. Rainfall with this system will be around three quarters of an to one inch. System number two will be arriving late Wed night, and is expected to have more rain then wind. The band of rain is expected to persist through Thursday before then moving east Thursday night and weakening. The rainfall will also be aimed mostly at the northern half of the panhandle with the heaviest rainfall expected to be across the NE Gulf Coast and Glacier Bay area. Most stations have a greater than 60 percent chance of over 1 inches with a few having at least 20 percent chance of exceeding 2 inches north of Frederick Sound. River levels are still currently low from the recent dry weather last month so we are expecting some river rises across the norther panhandle, but no flooding at this time.

* 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
