This is a prolonged flooding event in the affected areas. Be
prepared for impacts from high water to last through the week, and
potentially longer. Ice on area lakes will slow the flow of water
and may prolong the timeframe of this event.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.

Rain and thunderstorms are currently moving into and / or forming
across northern lower and eastern upper Michigan. Thunderstorms are
most likely near and south of M-32. Torrential rainfall may lead to

eastern upper Michigan (particularly near the Straits), lighter but
efficient rainfall will lead to elevated water levels once again
tonight.
