...KUSKOKWIM RIVER BREAKUP FRONT LOCATION...



As of 16:30 AKDT Wednesday, an approximate 30 mile run of ice was 

moving downstream between Crooked Creek and Napaimute. The ice run 

is medium-to-large disintegrating sheets intermixed with large 

chunks, and moving at ~2 mph. Below Napaimute is open water until 

near Chuathbaluk where intact ice at varying stages of strength and 

decay extends all the way to Bethel.



Residence in Aniak and Crow Village should expect to see water 

levels rise overnight as the upriver ice run meets the stronger 

intact ice sheets downstream and water and ice push through Birch 

Crossing and overtop the still ice-choked Aniak Slough. At this time 

we are not expecting any flooding to occur.



The River Watch Team will fly early Thursday morning to assess river 

conditions between Bethel and Crooked Creek. To share any local 

observations, please email anchorage.weather@noaa.gov.
