Hydrologic Outlook, Municipality of Skagway; Haines Borough and Klukwan, 2025-06-18 15:07 AKDT.
ESFAJK
Some areas in the Haines and Skagway Boroughs will be warming into the mid to high 70s by Friday and increasing into the weekend, up to the low 80s along the Haines Highway area. Snow levels are expected to rise to 8000 feet or higher. This will increase the amount of snowmelt running into the streams and rivers. This will raise the water levels in them, and in some cases could bring the levels to bankfull or beyond. In particular, the Chilkat River forecast has been gaining confidence on reaching levels to around minor flood stage. The Taiya and Skagway rivers are anticipated to see increases as well, but at the time are approaching bankfull. We will continue to watch the rivers in Haines and Skagway closely for indications of impactful rises from this snowmelt.
