Ice jams are creating minor flooding on the Arkansas River in Fremont County. The National Weather Service is reporting an ice jam along County Road 119 along the river near Florence.
The ice jam comes as a result of warmer temperatures after several days of below-freezing conditions. The warm temperatures allowed ice to melt and break up on the river. Those broken pieces of ice flowed together to essentially create a dam in the river.
A Flood Warning is in effect through today for portions of the Arkansas River in Fremont County.
