Flooding reported across the region |

The areal flood watch issued by the National
Weather Service this afternoon has been upgraded
to a flood warning as numerous reports of
flooding continue to pour in.
Incoming weather models suggest that another
half to one inch of rain will fall across the
region by mid-day Tuesday. The combination of
heavy rain and continued snow melt will likely
lead to new areas of flooding and exacerbate
ongoing flooding.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause
flooding of small creeks and streams, country
roads, farmland, and other low lying spots.
In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water
crossings which are potentially dangerous in
heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.
Please report flooding to your local law
enforcement agency when you can do so safely. |
