Description:
A glacier dammed lake outburst from Summit Lake has started on the
Salmon River near Hyder. Water levels on the Salmon River are
expected to continue to rise over the next day or two with an
expected crest sometime on Wednesday or Thursday. It is unknown how
much water will be released from Summit Lake which results in large
uncertainty on crest height and timing.
Potential impact area for this event is the road from Hyder to
Premier, Canada at around mile point 9 along the Salmon River.
Be aware of debris in the water. Very cold water will increase the
threat of hypothermia. Please report any observed impacts to the
National Weather Service.
