The front of the ice jam near Fort McMurray has now melted past the meeting point of the Clearwater and Athabasca Rivers and continues to melt with warmer temperatures. It has shrunk by an additional 3 km since yesterday and is now approximately 12.5 km long.
The ice run from the Town of Athabasca released earlier today and is expected to meet the existing downstream ice jam near Fort McMurray by tomorrow evening.
Ice jam has started to shift. Warm weather has assisted in melting of the ice jam.
The ice jam near Fort McMurray started shifting earlier this morning. It is expected that the ice jam will continue to melt in place or start moving downstream. Municipal and provincial officials continue to monitor river water levels and conditions. River water levels on the Clearwater River rose slightly overnight due to snowmelt. River water levels on the Athabasca River have continued to decrease.
It’s critical to stay away from riverbanks while river breakup continues. The river is unpredictable and sudden changes in water levels can make riverbanks very dangerous.
Controlled burns may begin as soon as today and will continue throughout May across the Municipality to reduce the wildfire risk in the region.
An ice jam on the Athabasca River north of Fort McMurray is causing water levels to rise. Water is high on the Athabasca river underneath the bridge, however these levels are being monitored closely
