Late yesterday afternoon, the VIIRS River Flood product captured flooding along the Innoko River upriver of Shageluk, adjacent to the lower Yukon River (top left). No flooding in Shageluk itself has been reported.

Flooding continues in near Bethel along the Kuskokwim River. This VIIRS River Flood product highlights flooded regions in reds, river/lake ice in cyan, and mixed ice/water in purple. This image shows the river is (mostly) open while nearby lakes have mixed ice.

Within the composite, "nighttime visible" imagery is used. Here is a loop of this imagery as seen by
@JPSSProgram
satellites.
Sources of illumination like city lights and, in this case, very bright
#aurora
show up as white.

In British Columbia, the remains of 2023 wildfires have flared up in the past week. Past fires can overwinter by smoldering in the peat layer underground, making them difficult to catch. This satellite image shows fires that ignited on the edge of their 2023 burn scars.
