...FLOOD WATCH FOR AN ICE JAM REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH TUESDAY 

MORNING FOR CIRCLE...



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



* WHERE...Circle



* WHEN...Through Tuesday morning.



* IMPACTS...As of mid-day Sunday, not much change has been reported 

  and the Yukon River breakup front is roughly 30 miles upstream of 

  Circle, near Coal Creek.  There is a 20 mile run of dense ice 

  above the breakup front.  Residents of Circle should be aware that 

  the breakup front is approaching.  No overbank flooding has been 

  reported yet.  However as the breakup front moves downstream, it 

  is likely that small jams may form and release, leading to 

  fluctuating water levels and potential minor or moderate flooding.



* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - If you live near or along the Yukon River stay alert and be

    prepared to take action.
