NWS Special Statement
Statement as of 3:18 PM AKDT on May 22, 2015
...Elevated fire danger through Saturday...
Fire danger has increased in areas such as the Haines Highway,
Taiya River Valley, Hyder, and other areas away from the water
channels Friday afternoon. Relative humidity values have plummeted
into the 20 to mid 30 percent range. Winds remain at 10 mph or
less but fire fuels remain very dry across the Inner Channels.
Similar but slightly better conditions are expected for Saturday
afternoon as offshore flow weakens and turns more onshore by
Saturday evening. Relative humidity values are still expected to
drop into the upper 20 to mid 30 percent range but winds should
remain relatively light in the dry areas. Fire danger subsides
Sunday and Monday due to increased onshore flow and more cloud
cover for shading causing higher relative humidity.

- ADOT/PF Over the weekend we posted
that due to Brotherhood Bridge construction we would be
closing the Old Glacier Highway exit coming from Radcliff
Road onto Egan Drive (across from Vintage Park) for
approximately one month.
UPDATE: We will NOT be
closing that intersection today. The closure is delayed
until further notice. Our apologies for the confusion.
- (FAIRBANKS, Alaska) — At 12 a.m.
this morning, the Alaska Department of Transportation and
Public Facilities (ADOT&PF) closed the Dalton Highway
at MP 394-403 due to extreme flooding of the road. Water
up to 2 feet deep has been reported over the road, and
with warm temperatures forecast through this week, the
water level is expected to continue to rise. The road is
anticipated to remain closed until after the water levels
crest; hydrologists with ADOT&PF and the University
of Alaska Fairbanks expect this to happen late this week.
Additional resources are joining ADOT&PF staff;
personnel and equipment from Cruz Construction will be on
site today. The goal will be to try to protect the road
surface from erosion by installing culverts and building
berms to divert the water to the culverts.
In mid-March, this section of the Dalton Highway was
flooded with ice and water. The impacted areas continued
to expand, and the depth of the ice and water continued
to increase. On April 7, Gov. Walker declared the Dalton
Highway a state disaster.
A Unified Incident Command was established last month to
assist with the Dalton Highway flooding response. The
Unified Incident Command consists of: ADOT&PF,
Alyeska Pipeline Service Co., BP, ConocoPhillips,
ExxonMobil and the North Slope Borough. The group is in
frequent contact and is coordinating efforts.
