Προειδοποιήσεις, Maguire Islands

Special Weather Statement issued June 3 at 1:21PM AKDT by NWS Fairbanks AK High pressure will build over the North Slope midweek through the weekend with daytime max temperatures expected to reach the mid 40s to mid 50s. Snow remains on the ground with liquid equivalent estimated to be around an inch on average across the North Slope. Expect this to melt off and cause areas of high water along the Kuparuk, Colville and Sag and their tributaries. Of particular concern is a known seven mile long ice jam downstream of Ocean Point (on the Colville) and a smaller ice jam a few miles long at Horseshoe Bend (roughly 9 river miles up from Nuiqsut). Snowmelt will likely push out these ice jams, but expect high water upstream before the release. Water levels are expected to crest by the end of the week into the weekend.
