...Ice jamming with high water expected on the Blacks Fork at Little 
America through Tuesday Afternoon...

The recent warm weather has caused significant snowmelt. This in 
combination with some ice jams was causing some minor flooding along 
area small creeks and streams in Sweetwater County. At 5 am, the 
Blacks Fork River at Little America was just over 10.5 feet. Flood stage
is 10.5 feet. Some flooding of farm or pasture land near the river is 
expected.

River ice is very unpredictable, and may move and jam with little 
notice. Any ice jam can cause flooding, as the ice dams the river, 
causing rapid increases in river levels in a short period of time. 
People living near the river should monitor the situation closely and
be ready to move to higher ground if flooding occurs.
