WEST MICHIGAN - River levels are already running high here in West Michigan, but more flooding concerns will mount again next week as several rounds of steady to moderate, even heavy rains/storms will be possible from Sunday through Wednesday. While it will not be raining all the time, we expect waves of rain to move through from time to time.
The image attached to this story shows TOTAL PRECIPITATION from Friday morning all the way through 6PM next week Wednesday. Keep in mind this is only a forecast model...so it's not reality, but it does give us a good indication as to what might unfold. 2" to 4" of rain will be possible through that time frame. River levels will rise and I would expect to see several locations along river basins in moderate to major flooding. If you live along a river/creek/stream, make sure to stay up on later forecasts into next week.
Take a look at the genesis on what will start the flooding rains. See graphic below. That warm front will lift through the state on Sunday and bring what may be several rounds of rain/storms from Sunday through next Wednesday.
