A Flood Warning was issued on Wednesday, Apr. 2 by NWS Grand Rapids for multiple spots on the Muskegon River in Newaygo County.

Both spots, near Newaygo and Bridgeton, will likely see another 1.5 inches of rain across the river basin and into the watershed.

According to NWS, this will likely push these portions of the river slightly above the considered "minor" flood stage in the coming days. At 9:45 a.m. on Wednesday, the stage was at 10.1 feet. The river is expected to rise above flood stage early Thursday afternoon and into a crest of 11.4 feet on Friday morning. It is expected to fall below flood stage next Tuesday evening.

Please turn around, don't drown, when encountering a flooded roadway. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive cars through flooded areas.
