Additional Details:
- At 1130 AM AKDT Wednesday, the river gauge at Bethel indicates
water levels above flood stage, at or above 8.5 ft. Additionally,

Napaskiak, Oscarville, Bethel and Kwethluk, confirm flooding in
low-lying areas. Water levels may drop with the outgoing tide
this (Wednesday) afternoon, but are expected to rise again
Thursday morning with another high tide cycle.
These high water levels are a result of the Kuskokwim River
back-up at its outlet in combination with heavy rain runoff
farther upstream. Minor flooding will continue from overflow of
poor drainage areas. High tides will decrease later in the week,
allowing the backwater of the Kuskokwim River to drain, lowering
water levels to below flood stage.
