:FORECASTER COMMENTS...
:
:Ice jam reported by EM. Forecast is similar to 2019 which
:reached 14.5ft with similar flows and a similar cold
:outbreak. That event lasted approximately 4 days in total,
:but ice jams do not all behave the same. Rapid rises or
:drops are possible, and a higher crest and longer duration
:than the analog is possible as well.
