TheLower Yukon Basin, which includes the villages of Tanana, Ruby, Galena, and Anvik, have stations reporting between 150 and 200% of normal at the lower elevations and closer to normal at the higher elevations. The Kuskokwim Basin has a normal to above normal snowpack. Telaquana Lake in the far southeast Kuskokwim headwaters is below normal due to a mid-February warm up; McGrath avoided the warm up and is reporting a near normal snowpack down to around Aniak; between Aniak and Bethel, observers are reporting above normal snowpack.
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center outlook favors above normal temperatures through April for all of Alaska and with a temperature pattern in other parts of the state, n would reduce ice jam related flood risk along the Kuskokwim and Yukon Rivers.
