* WHERE...Fortymile River near Chicken, along the Taylor Highway.

* WHEN...Until 1000 PM AKDT Monday.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

  - At 429 PM AKDT, As of Sunday evening, we have not heard of
    any impacts from the Fortymile River ice jam. Latest

    levels dropped Sunday morning and have slightly risen Sunday
    afternoon, the small rise was most likely due to snow melt,
    or a combination of snowmelt and an ice jam down river. River
    levels appear fairly stable around 17.4ft. River levels
    should gradually go down tonight as the pace of snowmelt
    slows.

  - As we hear more information, we will update this advisory as
    needed. If you are traveling along the Taylor Highway and see
    flooding from this, please notify authorities.
