1 To 1.5 inches of rain are likely across much of southern Lower
Michigan on Wednesday and Wednesday evening. If thunderstorms begin
to track over the same locations repeatedly, isolated 2.5+ inch
totals are possible. If this happens, localized flooding could
develop and impact low lying and other poor drainage areas as well
as small streams.

As this water finds its way through our river systems, we could see
some minor river flooding developing later this week. The Muskegon
River is most vulnerable, as water levels are already elevated after
recent heavy rains in Northern Lower Michigan. Further south, the
Grand and Kalamazoo River basins are seeing lower water levels, but
depending on the location of the heaviest rain some of the
tributaries of these rivers could rise above bankfull in the next
few days.

Now is the time for folks living or playing near the rivers in West
Michigan to prepare for rising water levels later this week.
