River Flooding Continues

4/20/2026 A quiet spring pattern is forecast through Thursday afternoon, with a widespread chance of showers and storms Thursday night into Friday. There is a 50-70% chance of rainfall in excess of a half inch. Spring like temps will continue through Friday, although will be much cooler at times near the bay and Lake Michigan.

River Flood Warnings continue on some area rivers due the recent heavy rainfall and snowmelt. Rivers are cresting early this week and will continue to slowly through the week with a stretch of much needed dry weather expected. Remember to heed all road closures.
