(WNY News Now) – Officials are monitoring active ice jams in the Silver Creek area, warning residents in flood-prone zones to prepare for potential flooding.
The New York State Alert system has issued a warning for residents in the Silver Creek area due to active ice jams forming in local creeks. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation and advise those in flood-prone locations to take necessary precautions.
Ice jams occur when chunks of ice accumulate in rivers or creeks, blocking water flow and causing potential overflow into surrounding areas. These events can lead to sudden flooding, especially with fluctuating temperatures and increased water runoff.
Residents in low-lying areas should stay alert and prepare for possible evacuations if conditions worsen.
