  - At 429 PM AKDT, As of Sunday evening, we have not heard of

    any impacts from the Fortymile River ice jam. Latest

    observations from the Walker Fork gauge show that the river

    levels dropped Sunday morning and have slightly risen Sunday

    afternoon, the small rise was most likely due to snow melt,

    or a combination of snowmelt and an ice jam down river. River

    levels appear fairly stable around 17.4ft. River levels

    should gradually go down tonight as the pace of snowmelt

    slows.

    needed. If you are traveling along the Taylor Highway and see

    flooding from this, please notify authorities.
