...River Rises and Flooding of Poor Drainage Areas Possible This
Week...

A strong storm system moving across the region through Wednesday
will lead to additional rounds of rainfall. Total rainfall amounts
of at least 1 inch will be widespread by Wednesday morning, with
amounts near 2 inches in isolated areas.

Although river levels remain below average, soils across the area
remain partially frozen from recent periods of cold weather. The
upper few inches of soil have started to thaw, but infiltration will
remain limited.

Runoff will collect in poor drainage areas, ditches, fields, and
yards, with stream and river rises to near bankfull possible.
Isolated areas of minor flooding may occur where rainfall is
heaviest.

This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts
are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor
forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and
advisories.

This will likely be the final statement for this event.
