...HEAVY RUNS OF ICE ON THE KUSKOKWIM RIVER FROM NEAR AKIAK 

DOWNRIVER TO NAPAKIAK...



As of late Wednesday afternoon, heavy floes of ice are working their 

way downstream on the Kuskokwim River from near Akiak to Napakiak.



Water levels are high to near bank full as these runs of ice move 

downstream; however, flooding is not anticipated as downstream ice 

has been rapidly weakening over the past several days down to the 

mouth of the Johnson River. Per observation, area sloughs and 

Kuskokwim River tributaries are also taking some of the ice to 

relieve stress on the Kuskokwim.



NWS and the River Watch team will continue to reach out to local 

community members for observations. To share any 

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



Stay tuned for updates.
