The Areal Flood Warning for Stephenson and Carroll counties has been
extended until 4pm Sunday afternoon. Road closures and flooding
continue across those counties due to river and creek flooding.
According to emergency management, the Plum River remains out of it's
banks with Old Galena Trail Road and Spurr Road still closed. Whacker
Road in Savanna is also closed. The ground is extremely saturated and
any additional rainfall will likely caused more flooding across the
area.
In Stephenson County, Yellow Creek remains out of it's banks and has
resulted in the indefinite closure of Loran Road in a couple locations
between Bolton Road and Voss Road, and between Bower Road and Mill Grove
Road. Ditches throughout the county are also full and additional
rainfall will likely lead to renewed flooding.
The remainder of Thursday night and Friday will be dry but rain showers
move in late Saturday morning. It'll be a steady rain Saturday, but
could be heavy in some locations. Following the passage of a cold front
Saturday night, we'll have a few days with dry skies.
