Hydrologic Outlook issued June 17 at 3:04PM AKDT by NWS Juneau AK

ESFAJK Northern Lynn Canal region will be warming into the 70s by the weekend, while snow levels rise to 7000 feet or higher. This will increase the amount of snowmelt running into the streams and rivers. This will raise the water levels in them, and in some case could bring the levels to bankfull or beyond that. In particular, the Chilkat River will be watched closely. The Taiya and Skagway rivers should be anticipated to see increases as well, but at the time are approaching bankfull.
