Update: Flood Warning in effect until Monday Evening for the Pecatonica River at Freeport. Early Wednesday morning the stage was at 10.3 feet and rising. Flood stage is 13 feet. Minor flooding is forecast with a rise above flood stage Thursday evening into Friday evening.
Flood Warnings have been issued for Green and Rock counties in southern Wisconsin for the Sugar River at Brodhead. As of this morning, the current stage was at 2.9 feet with flood stage beginning at 5 feet. Minor flooding is expected with the river Thursday night into Friday with the flood stage expected to reach 6 feet by Friday afternoon. Flood Warnings are also in effect for counties in Iowa as some rivers are experiencing moderate flooding. Local rivers across the Stateline could rise with the rain that is expected to fall Thursday into Friday. We could very well see close to three quarters inch of rain fall with the next system (if not more) and with the ground already fairly saturated from the recent rain and snow melt this could lead to some flooding concerns. There is already standing water in some fields because of the recent snow melt. Click here for an up to date look at local river stages.
