Flood Watch
Issued: 12:30 AM May. 12, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH FOR AN ICE JAM NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam is possible. * WHERE...Kalskag, Kwethluk, Akiak and Tuluksak * WHEN...Through Tuesday morning. * IMPACTS...Ice jams may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, sloughs, and other low-lying flood prone locations. Water may impound behind a jam which may cause flooding several miles upstream. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - For Kalskag: As of Monday morning, the River Watch Team reports that an ice jam is still in place near Lower Kalsgag. This is causing flooding along Airport Road around the school and tank farm. Meanwhile, ice downstream of Kalskag through to the mouth of Bogus Creek remains relatively healthy and intact. Because of the ice jam upstream and intact ice downstream, Kalskag faces a heightened flood threat and water levels could rise beyond where they are this morning. Residents of Kalskag should remain alert to changes in ice and water levels. For Kwethluk: Ice jammed in the lower Kuskokuak channel at and just upstream of the Y, or confluence with the Akiak Channel of the Kuskokwim, has resulted in water rising in and near Kwethluk. River Watch aerial reconnaissance noted water has already started inundating surrounding low-level areas near the community. Aerial reconnaissance also noted that there are several spots of open water in the upper portion of the Kuskokuak Channel, as well as downstream beyond the Y. Until the ice shifts or moves, residents should prepare for continued rising water levels, particularly in flood-prone lower areas. Akiak and Tuluksak: Original ice still in place which may cause flooding as the breakup front moves downstream from Kalskag. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood 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. Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information. &&
