Flood Advisory issued May 1 at 9:00AM AKDT until May 3 at 12:00PM AKDT by NWS Anchorage AK

* WHAT…Flooding caused by an ice jam is expected.

* WHERE…Kuskokwim near Aniak To Lower Kalskag.

* WHEN…Until noon AKDT Saturday.

* IMPACTS…Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– The Kuskokwim River at Aniak has stopped as of this morning
with bank to bank ice and minor flooding in low lying areas.
The River Watch team observed a roughly 30 mile run of ice
upstream of Aniak on April 30th, and intact ice closer to
Upper and Lower Kalskag. As this run of ice continues
downriver, there is potential for flooding and ice shoves. As
this ice approaches stronger intact ice near Upper and Lower
Kalskag, there is potential for ice jam flooding.
– Some locations that will experience flooding include…
Aniak, Upper Kalskag, Lower Kalskag
