Flood Warnings continue for Rock and Green counties in southern Wisconsin and Stephenson, Winnebago, Ogle and Whiteside counties in Illinois. Most rivers have already reached their height and are now forecast to slowly fall back below flood stage through this upcoming weekend. The Pecatonica River which reached 16.15 ft over the weekend (flood stage is 13 ft) will continue to drop. The same for the Kishwaukee River which crested at 18.18 ft late Saturday (flood stage is 12 ft). The only exception will be the Rock River which is expected to crest within the next day or so before falling back below flood stage through the weekend. Clean up efforts will continue for the next several weeks as record rainfall fell across much of northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. Thankfully we've got a couple dry days before our next rain chance mid-week. For the latest information on area rivers click here.
