128.5 Water will flood the property of Chilkat River Adventures just upstream of the Chilkat River bridge with some other minor flooding near 14 mile and 25 mile boat launches and along Porcupine Road.
128 Water will begin to flow over the driveway into the property of Chilkat River Adventures just upstream of the Chilkat River bridge. Additionally minor flooding may occur near 14 mile and 25 mile boat launches along with minor flooding of Porcupine Road.
