Hydrologic Outlook issued June 19 at 3:06PM 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. The Taiya and Skagway rivers are anticipated to see increases, but at the time are approaching bankfull. The Haines zone was removed from this outlook due to the issuance of a Flood Advisory for the Chilkat River.
