AFTERNOON...

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

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

* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.

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


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

    but no flooding reports in Kotlik. There is still a risk of
    flooding at Nunam Iqua and Kotlik should the ice shift and
    push water towards the towns.
