ESFAFG
An ice jam above the mouth of the Fortymile River has remained in
place since Thursday. With the cooler temperatures snowmelt
contribution to the Yukon has not increased water levels at Dawson
so this jam has been stable and will likely erode from the
downstream side. In this scenario, Eagle and other locations along
the Yukon that currently have open water can expect eventual ice
runs accompanied by a significant rise in water levels as this jam
releases and potentially adds to the current jam downstream of
Calico Bluff.
