...Localized Ice Jam Flooding Possible Along the Platte and Loup
River Systems Through At Least Tuesday...

Unseasonably-warm temperatures will continue to promote steady
ice melt and ice movement along the Platte, North Loup, Middle
Loup, South Loup and Loup Rivers in central and south central
Nebraska over the next few days. This could result in the
continued formation of localized ice jams. Should any ice jams
happen to develop, water levels could fluctuate as much as 1 to 3
feet in a short time, causing flooding with little, if any notice.
This is especially true for known, ice jam prone locations.

If any ice jam flooding is observed over the next few days along
the Platte or Loup River systems in central and south central
Nebraska, please report it immediately to the National Weather
Service in Hastings.
