258 AM EDT Thu Apr 16 2026

...FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...All of southeast Michigan, including the following areas,
  Bay, Genesee, Huron, Lapeer, Lenawee, Livingston, Macomb, Midland,
  Monroe, Oakland, Saginaw, Sanilac, Shiawassee, St. Clair, Tuscola,
  Washtenaw and Wayne.

* WHEN...Through this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
  in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be
  flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Showers and embedded thunderstorms will be around today.
    Although most locations are expected to see less than an inch
    of rain, thunderstorms and heavy rain showers could produce
    localized accumulations of 2 inches or more. This would
    likely cause flooding given the antecedent rainfall and
    already saturated soils.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
