Special Weather Statement issued February 9 at 7:27PM CST by NWS Hastings NE

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.
