* WHAT...Flooding along the Muskegon River remains possible due to
an ice jam.
* WHERE...A portion of west central Michigan, including the
following county, Newaygo.
* WHEN...Until 700 PM EST Thursday.
* IMPACTS...Ice jams are notoriously unpredictable. Low-lying areas
along the Muskegon River that are prone to flooding may see
rapidly changing water levels as ice shifts and adjusts.

- At 418 PM EST, an ice jam continues to be reported by local
authorities on the Muskegon river in southern Newaygo County.
The river gauge at Newaygo shows water levels remaining at
minor flood stage as of Wednesday afternoon.
- As the river freezes up, ice can restrict the flow of the
river and cause rises and falls in water level. While
flooding associated with freeze up ice jams is typically
minor, conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Newaygo.
- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.
