Flood Watch
Issued: 10:51 PM May. 12, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH FOR AN ICE JAM REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam continues to be possible. * WHERE...Tuluksak, Akiak, Kwethluk, Bethel, Napaskiak, Oscarville, and Napakiak. * WHEN...Through Wednesday morning. * IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - 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. Ice jams have been observed at/near Tuluksak, a few around Akiak, and near Bethel, with a decaying jam near Napaskiak downriver. Almost no intact-original ice is in place above Bethel, with a mix of broken sheets. - Http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Monitor the latest forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
