along the Muskegon River that are prone to flooding may see

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 408 PM EST, an ice jam remains in place on the Muskegon
river in southern Newaygo County. The river gauge at Newaygo
shows water levels remaining at minor flood stage as of
Friday afternoon. As temperatures warm this weekend, water
levels should continue to slowly fall. Shorter periods of
rising and falling water levels are expected with any shifts
in the ice.
- 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.
