Prolonged above average temperatures will promote ice movement on area rivers and streams and increase the potential for ice jams and lowland flooding, especially along the Platte, Elkhorn and Loup rivers. If ice jams develop, lowland flooding would be possible. Prepare for quick increases in water levels. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday. Very high to extreme fire danger is expected across eastern Nebraska on Monday afternoon as dry conditions are met with gusty winds. Use extra caution to avoid starting fires and carefully monitor recently burned areas. Persistent warm weather will lead to increasing potential for ice jams through early next week or until rivers are largely ice-free. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation is not expected at this time. $$
