Flood Watch
Northern Seward Peninsula
Flood Watch issued May 15 at 10:25AM AKDT until May 19 at 12:00PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK
* WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam is possible. * WHERE...Buckland * WHEN...Through Monday morning. * IMPACTS...Water may rise out of the banks of the Buckland River and cause flooding of surrounding low lying areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - The Buckland River is slowly breaking up, with some open water in front of town. Directly upstream from town there is a mix of intact ice and open water and beyond that mostly open conditions towards the headwaters. Ice remains mostly intact downriver from Buckland, including at known jam points. -A local observer reports that water has come up two feet overnight 5/14 to 5/15, six more feet of rise will bring water levels over bank. Snow melt in the basin brings the potential for flooding as early as Friday if the intact ice below Buckland is strong enough to resist the push of water and ice. - Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc - Stay alert and be prepared to take action.
