The indicated stage was affected by an ice jam downstream of the gauge. - Forecast...The river is expected to remain near flood stage while the ice jam is in place, with local water level fluctuations possible. - Flood stage is 5.0 feet. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

An ice jam is affecting water levels in this area. River forecasts during ice jams are less certain due to many complicated factors. Significant river ice cover can cause large water level fluctuations and flooding with little advanced notice. River ice may also cause gauge observations to be inaccurate. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov. The next statement will be issued by Sunday afternoon.
