LOCATION/KNOWN FLOOD AREA:  Manley HS

PRODUCT TYPE: Watch

EXPIRATION TIME: 48 hours

PRIMARY CAUSE: Ice Jam
	

BASIS:  An ice jam has formed ~3 miles downstream of Manley and is causing minor flooding at the community
	park along the slough.  As of midday Wednesday, the Riveratch team reports that this jam does not
	appear to be strong.  However, ice is still in place and looks strong at the jam point which caused
	flooding in 2022.  There is not significant ice upstream of Manley.


IMPACTS:  Be prepared for fluctuating water levels and flooding as the ice jam moves downriver.  It is possible
	for the current jam to degrade and to reform further downstream.
