A Flood Warning means flooding is imminent or may already be occurring. Persons along rivers, creeks, and other waterways should take immediate precautions to protect life and property.

Yards and other low-lying areas will remain inundated by water and ice. Shifting ice may damage structures along the shore. Water levels will remain high over the weekend due to high streamflow resulting from a combination of recent rains and snowmelt. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 640 AM CST, river gauge data indicates that river levels have dropped several feet since last night and continue to fall while remaining in flood stage. Flash flood warnings for this ice jam break have been cancelled. However, residual flooding will persist. Additionally, fluctuations in river levels will be possible as residual upstream ice moves through the area. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
