349 PM AKDT Wed May 1 2024
...FLOOD WATCH FOR AN ICE JAM NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY
AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam continues to be possible.
* WHERE...Along the Tanana River from 6 miles downstream of Manley
Hot Springs
* WHEN...Through Thursday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Be prepared for fluctuating water levels and flooding as
the ice jam moves downriver. It is possible for the current jam
to degrade and to reform further downstream.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- An ice jam has formed ~6 miles downstream of Manley and is
causing minor flooding at the community park along the
slough. As of midday Wednesday, the River Watch team reports
that this jam does not appear to be strong.
However, ice is still in place and looks strong at the jam
point which caused flooding in 2022. It is possible that when
the jam just down stream of Manley breaks, that it will form
back up near the 2022 location, but the flooding should not
become much worse than it is currently. When the jam finally
releases and ice flushes further down stream, river levels
are expected to come back down in the Manley area.
There is not significant ice upstream of Manley.
- Http://www.weather.gov/aprfc
- Please stay tuned to NOAA weather radio or your favorite local
weather news source for updates on this situation.
- If you live by the Tanana River near Manly Hot Springs stay
alert and be prepared to take action.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
Do not enter or cross flowing water or water of unknown depth.
Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio,
television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.

River Watch flew the Yukon River yesterday from Eagle to
FourtyMile River. An observer 23 miles upstream of Eagle said that
the Yukon there broke up yesterday afternoon. Ice began flowing
but within a few hours had stopped flowing and an ice jam formed.
Yukon rose to near mid-summer high levels and was continuing to
rise slowly. Due to current river levels and ice conditions, the
threat for flooding has diminished in the area around Eagle.
However, ice jams can still pose a localized threat in the areas
immediately around where they form.
