Precipitation over the coast mountains in conjunction with warming temperatures into the next work week will contribute to an increase in river levels over the far northern inner channels of Southeast Alaska. As shower activity diminished, snow melt will become a more dominant factor. Water levels in the Chilkat River, the Skagway River, and the Taiya River are being monitored closely for indications of river rises. Stay tuned for additional updates.
