Area Rivers Rising; Some Into Flood

Area Rivers On The Rise!

Another stormy stretch of weather has been seen over the last two days, with quite impressive 48-hour rainfall totals. Most areas along/north of Interstate 80 saw around 2-4” of rain, with several locations seeing between 4-6” of rain over the last two days.

Minor flooding is expected along several area rivers, with a couple reaching Moderate to Major Flood Stage. Additional rainfall is possible through Monday, but should largely remain light (<0.25-0.50”). Continue to monitor river observations and forecasts!

Rounds of recent heavy rain and run-off will produce significant rises on several area tributary rivers, and even portions of the main stem Mississippi River through the upcoming week. Some of the rivers will go into flood, including portions of the Mississippi River from the Quad Cities on southward.
