Weather Alert in Nebraska
Special Weather Statement issued February 7 at 6:01PM CST by NWS Hastings NE
AREAS AFFECTED: Valley; Greeley; Nance; Sherman; Howard; Merrick; Polk; Buffalo; Hall; Hamilton
DESCRIPTION: Continued well-above normal temperatures (especially through Monday) will cause increasing ice melt and ice movement along the Platte, North Loup, Middle Loup, South Loup and Loup Rivers in central and south central Nebraska. This could result in the possible formation of localized ice jams. Although not a certainty, should any ice jams happen to develop, water levels could fluctuate as much as 1 to 3 feet in a very short time, causing flooding with little, if any notice. If any ice jam flooding is observed over the next few days along the Platte or Loup River systems in central and south central Nebraska, please report it immediately to the National Weather Service in Hastings.

Evaporation is the process which returns water from the earth
back to the atmosphere, and is another crucial process in the water cycle.
Evaporation is the transformation of liquid into gas, and it happens because
molecules are excited by the application of energy and turn into vapor.
In order for water to evaporate it has to be on the surface of a body of water.

A fractus cloud (scud) is a fragmented, tattered cloud which has
likely been sheared off of another cloud. They are accessory clouds, meaning they
develop from parent clouds, and are named in a way which describes the original
cloud which contained them.
Fractus clouds which have originated from cumulus clouds are referred to as
cumulus fractus, while fractus clouds which have originated from stratus clouds
are referred to as stratus fractus. Under certain conditions a fractus cloud might
merge with another cloud, or develop into a cumulus cloud, but usually a
fractus cloud seen by itself will dissipate rapidly.
They are often observed on the leading and trailing edges of storm clouds,
and are a display of wind activity.
