Flooding Possible On Elkhorn And Platte Rivers

A flood watch is in effect for several counties in eastern Nebraska until Monday morning.

The National Weather Service in Valley says warm temperatures through this weekend could lead to ice movement along the rivers.

As of Friday the highest concentration of ice is from the railroad bridge near Fremont to County Road 11 just downstream of North Bend. In addition, a significant amount of ice remains along the Elkhorn River near Scribner.

Forecasters say residents in these areas should remain alert to possible ice jam flooding. The flood watch covers Cass, Cuming, Dodge, Douglas, Sarpy, Saunders, and Washington Counties.

A Flood watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible warnings.
