The Yukon River at Ft. Yukon broke up Tuesday with minor flooding from an ice jam that released overnight into Wednesday morning. The breakup front remained stalled at 6 Mile Island below Ft. Yukon as of early Wednesday afternoon while water levels have continued to drop at Ft. Yukon. The water that has been carrying the breakup front has continued downstream and is helping to lift and shift the ice between Ft. Yukon and Beaver; however without a pulse of water from upstream breakup may be slowed for a few days. The timing of the breakup front reaching Stevens Village and the Dalton Highway bridge could be anywhere from 1-5 days. The River Watch team plans one more flight to this reach on Thursday to monitor the progression and will provide updates as information becomes available.
