AFTERNOON...

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

* WHERE...Yukon River in the Yukon Delta.

* WHEN...Through Saturday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Ice jams may result in flooding along the Yukon River
  over the Yukon Delta. Low lying areas near Kotlik have potential
  to flood from through Saturday. If an ice jam shifts water
  could rise rapidly.


* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - The Yukon River breakup is pushing across the Yukon Delta.

    but no flooding was reported in Kotlik. There is still a risk
    of flooding at Kotlik should the ice shift and push water
    towards the town.
