HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
508 AM EST WED FEB 17 2016

For the Rifle River...The following locations are included: Sterling.
For the Au Sable River...The following locations are included: Red 
Oak.
For the Manistee River...The following locations are included: 
Sherman.

...ICE JAMMING CONTINUES TO RESULT IN HIGH AND FLUCTUATING RIVER LEVELS...

HIGH RIVER GAGE READINGS ON PORTIONS OF THE RIFLE...AU SABLE AND MANISTEE RIVERS 
CONTINUE TO SUGGEST ICE JAMMING IS OCCURRING ON THOSE RIVERS. SOME MINOR FLOODING 
MAY BE OCCURRING. 

ONGOING COLD WEATHER REMAINS FAVORABLE FOR ICE JAM DEVELOPMENT. HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES  
WILL WARM TO ABOVE FREEZING BY THE END OF THE WEEK. THIS COULD RESULT IN A RAPID 
RELEASE OF BACKED-UP WATER AS THE ICE JAMS BREAK APART. PEOPLE WHO LIVE ALONG NORTHERN 
MICHIGAN RIVERS SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR RIVER LEVELS CLOSELY.

The National Weather Service in Gaylord will continue to closely monitor river 
levels...and will issue additional statements or warnings as conditions warrant.
