Weather Alert in Nebraska
Special Weather Statement issued February 10 at 11:55AM CST by NWS Hastings NE
AREAS AFFECTED: Valley; Greeley; Nance; Sherman; Howard; Merrick; Polk; Hall; Hamilton
DESCRIPTION: 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.

Cirrocumulus clouds form at high altitudes (usually around 5 km)
and have distinguishing characteristics displayed in a fine layer of
small cloud patches. These small cloud patches are sometimes referred to as
"cloudlets" in relation to the whole cloud formation.
Cirrocumulus clouds are formed from ice crystals and water droplets. Often, the
water droplets in the cloud freeze into ice crystals and the cloud becomes a
cirrostratus cloud. Because of this common occurrence, cirrocumulus cloud
formations generally pass rapidly.
