1243 PM CST Fri Feb 6 2026
Several consecutive days of well above normal temperatures will
lead to the potential thawing of area rivers. This process could
result in the formation of localized ice jams, resulting in water
level fluctuations of 1 to 3 feet over short periods of time.
While no ice movement has been reported, this possibility is
expected to increase over the upcoming weekend. Please report the
observance of flooding along the Platte or Loup rivers to the
National Weather Service in Hastings.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for southwest Iowa, west central
Iowa, east central Nebraska, northeast Nebraska and southeast

especially along the Platte, Elkhorn, and Loup rivers. If ice jams
develop, lowland flooding would be possible. Prepare for quick
increases in water levels.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.
Persistent warm weather will lead to increasing potential for ice
jams through early next week or until rivers are largely ice-free.
