From March 28 to April 5, Grand Rapids measured 3.11" of rain. Kalamazoo, in that same stretch, had over 5 inches of rain! This has spiked water levels across many rivers and streams.
While the visuals of high waters, minor overflow of some ponds, and fast flowing river water in Grand Rapids is concerning, there is not as much need to panic this year compared to last.
Below is a look at the grand River levels downtown and in Comstock Park as of Monday morning.
West Michigan is currently seeking water levels peak across all major river points, and will only see them improve through the first full week of April, as dry air settles in.
No river is expected to have major flooding concerns going forward, as precipitation looks hard to come by after Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning.
