...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING...

The Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of central Upper Michigan and western Upper Michigan, 
  including the following areas, in central Upper Michigan, 
  Alger, Baraga, Delta, Dickinson, Iron, Marquette, and 
  Menominee. In western Upper Michigan, Gogebic, Keweenaw, 
  Northern Houghton, Ontonagon, and Southern Houghton. 

* Through Wednesday evening

* Multiple rounds of moderate to heavy rain will occur at times
  through Wednesday evening across western and central Upper
  Michigan. Later this evening into Wednesday, the potential for
  heavy rain will expand over much of the west half of Upper
  Michigan, especially from Gogebic County northward into the
  Keweenaw Peninsula. Tonight through tomorrow, most locations 
  within the watch area will see additional rainfall amounts of 2 
  to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts possible.

* Due to the already saturated grounds, rivers and streams will be
  susceptible to quick rises, particularly overnight into
  Wednesday. Rising water levels could also lead to flooding
  issues in low-lying and poor drainage areas. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
