Here's a summary, a complete report can be found by clicking the link at the bottom of this post
In the Interior, including most of the Yukon, Tanana, and Koyukuk River basins, breakup potential is above average due to higher-than-normal snowpack levels. In contrast, portions of the Lower Yukon and Kuskokwim River basin can expect a below-average breakup potential due to very low snowpack caused by warmer than normal winter temperatures
Snowpack remains above normal across the Upper and Middle Yukon, Tanana, and Koyukuk River basins, averaging around 130% of normal
Areas along the Kuskokwim River Basin slightly rebounded during the first half of March;
however, snowpack conditions in the Kuskokwim River basin are still well below-average,
particularly in the lower basin— a stark contrast to last season’s well above-average snowpack.
NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center (CPC) temperature outlook favors below-normal for the lower to middle Yukon River basins over the first half of April, with near-normal temperatures expected across the central and eastern
interior. This projected temperature pattern could increase the risk of ice jam flooding along
portions of the middle Yukon River where above-average snowpack and cooler early spring
temperatures may delay the onset of snowmelt
