The Rock and Pecatonica rivers continue to remain in moderate to major flood stage, but have been gradually going down since this weekend.
The current river forecast has both the rivers falling into minor flood stage either this weekend or early next week. However, anticipated rainfall over the weekend may slow just how quickly those rivers get there. A storm system
will approach northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin Saturday night and Sunday. As it does, moisture will increase from the south causing skies to turn mostly cloudy Saturday night. An upper level disturbance will lift into northern Illinois from the south, bringing rain showers with by Sunday morning. The rain is expected to remain light but will continue through the afternoon and evening. Anticipated rainfall amounts will range from around a quarter of an inch, up to half an inch, by Sunday evening.
While the rain likely won't cause any major flooding it could delay when rivers are expected to drop into minor flood stage. The pattern does look to turn a little more active towards the end of next week and first week of April.
