.An ice jam may cause water to infiltrate the lowlands along the
river.

...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of east central Nebraska, northeast Nebraska, and
southeast Nebraska, including the following counties. Stanton,
Cuming, Platte, Colfax, Dodge, Washington, Butler, Saunders,
Douglas, Sarpy and Cass.

* Through Monday morning

* Warm temperatures should allow ice in the rivers to break up and
move through the system the next few days. A few river
observers have reported channels opening up in lower portions of
both the Elkhorn and Platte Rivers. However, as of Saturday
afternoon, there were still two ice jams on the Platte River.
Additional ice jams could develop if large chunks of ice get
stuck and are not able to move down the channel.

* Flooding continues along the Platte River near Schuyler and
Fremont due to ice jams in those areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Do not enter or cross flowing water or water of unknown depth.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.
