* WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam continues to be possible.



* WHERE...Along the Yukon River, downstream of Dawson



* WHEN...Through Thursday morning.



* IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. 



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - The Yukon River broke up locally at Eagle on Tuesday morning

    and Dawson on Tuesday afternoon.  Currently the breakup front

    is located somewhere downstream of the Tatonduk River.



    An ice jam is reported between Dawson and the Fortymile

    River.  Fluctuating water levels and heavy ice runs can be

    expected downstream when this jam releases.



    Residents along the Yukon River downstream of Dawson should

    expect ice runs to move through for the next 24 hours as the

    breakup front from Dawson moves downstream. Ice jams remain

    possible where the break up front encounters areas with in-

    place ice downstream of the Tatonduk River.
