...BREAKUP OUTLOOK IS NOW IN A GRAPHICAL FORMAT...

BRIEF SUMMARY:

The potential for spring breakup and snowmelt flooding is above
average across a large portion of mainland Alaska. In the Interior,
most of the Yukon River, the Tanana River, and the lower Kuskokwim
River are areas of primary concern. In contrast, the Koyukuk River
basin and rivers across Southcentral Alaska face a lower breakup
flood threat.
