Special Weather Statement

A glacier dammed lake outburst from Summit Lake continues on the Salmon River near Hyder. Water levels as of 9 pm Wednesday are at 25.0 ft at the river gage. Which is around 6 ft higher then what it was at before the event started. Water levels are expected to continue to rise through Wednesday night with an expected crest occurring either Wednesday night 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.
