Weather Alert in Nebraska
Special Weather Statement issued February 7 at 6:01PM CST by NWS Hastings NE
AREAS AFFECTED: Valley; Greeley; Nance; Sherman; Howard; Merrick; Polk; Buffalo; Hall; Hamilton
DESCRIPTION: Continued well-above normal temperatures (especially through Monday) will cause increasing ice melt and ice movement along the Platte, North Loup, Middle Loup, South Loup and Loup Rivers in central and south central Nebraska. This could result in the possible formation of localized ice jams. Although not a certainty, should any ice jams happen to develop, water levels could fluctuate as much as 1 to 3 feet in a very short time, causing flooding with little, if any notice. 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.

Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.

Freezing rain is a condition where precipitation which has fallen in the form of
water droplets reaches temperatures which are below freezing and freezes upon
coming into contact
with surface objects. The result of this precipitation is a glaze of ice which
can be damaging to plants and man-made structures. A severe onset of freezing
rain which results in a very thick glaze of ice is known as an ice storm.
