Special Weather Statement issued April 30 at 4:43PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK

Today, River Watch flew the Yukon River from Eagle to FourtyMile River. An observer 23 miles upstream of Eagle said that the Yukon there broke up this 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. Based on this report we expect the Yukon at Eagle to breakup sometime this evening or late tonight. Due to the current river levels and ice conditions, the threat for flooding is diminished in the area around Eagle. However, ice jams can still pose a localized threat in the areas immediately around where they form.
