Update on local river levels

Flood Warnings and Flood Advisories have been issued for the Pecatonica and Rock Rivers across the Stateline.

A Flood Advisory continues for the Rock River in Byron as well as in Dixon.  A Flood Warning has been issued for the Pecatonica River at Shirland.  The recent warmth and snow melt has caused the rivers to rise over the past several days.  While flooding is not expected locally, rivers will get close to flood stage.  So if you're in low lying areas or near the banks of the rivers, be on the lookout.

Flood Warnings continue further south along the Rock River in Whiteside County as ice jams continue to increase in size upstream causing the river to reach moderate flood stage.

Here are some of the current river levels as of 8pm Saturday:
