April 20, 2021 - Breaking Up is Hard To Do: River Ice Breakup in Alaska
Tuesday, April 20, 2021 - 11:00 am Alaska time
Crane Johnson, NOAA's National Weather Service Alaska Pacific River Forecast Center
Each spring, rivers in Alaska go from ice covered to open water during a time of year we call 'Breakup'. It is a time to be prepared. Ice jams can form during breakup and cause flooding. Join us to look at river ice and how ice jams form, and learn how we monitor breakup around Alaska. We will also find out what to expect for breakup this Spring.
