BRANCH COUNTY, MI (WTVB) – Branch County is included in a Flood Watch that has been issued by the National Weather Service which is in effect from Wednesday evening through Thursday evening.
Forecasters say flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible in portions of northern Indiana, southwest Michigan and northwest Ohio.
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Rainfall between one and 1.75 inch is expected to fall during this period with times of moderate rain. Frozen ground, ice jams, and additional snow pack melt will help lead to increased runoff leading to minor to moderate river flooding and flooding in low lying areas.
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.
