River Watch flew the Yukon River yesterday from Eagle to FourtyMile River. An observer 23 miles upstream of Eagle said that the Yukon there broke up yesterday afternoon. Ice began flowing but within a few hours had stopped flowing and an ice jam formed. Yukon rose to near mid-summer high levels and was continuing to rise slowly. Due to current river levels and ice conditions, the threat for flooding has diminished in the area around Eagle. However, ice jams can still pose a localized threat in the areas immediately around where they form.
