...FLOOD WARNING FOR AN ICE JAM REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1215 PM MST 
FRIDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by an ice jam continues.

* WHERE...Dawson County, on the Yellowstone River near Glendive.

* WHEN...Until 1215 PM MST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying 
  and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Depending on 
  ice behavior, any release of the ice jam could result in sudden 
  rises of water, leading to a rapid flooding situation.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 753 PM MST, Even though recent river gauge readings show
    that the river level has dropped below flood stage this
    evening at Glendive, Emergency Management reports that more
    sections of ice from upstream are still approaching Glendive
    and could easily lead to additional sudden rises in the river
    level.
  - Flooding impacts are expected to continue, but no additional
    rainfall is expected.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Glendive, West Glendive, Forest Park, Hoyt, Stipek and Marsh.
