Wednesday all Chicago-area rivers are in a slow fall with the only flooding occurring on the Kankakee River in northwest Indiana where Minor flooding is occurring near Kouts and Dunns Bridge with Moderate flooding near Shelby.

Any more rain that we get today is only going to cause more flooding or worsen the flooding that is ongoing,” said Bill South, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Hanford, California.

A spokesperson for the agency said: “The flooding in Matlock at the weekend was surface water flooding due to the intensity of the rainfall.

Many research papers have been written about historic flooding, flooding and climate change, how much the snowpack contributes and the need for better monitoring and warning systems.

The Agency has issued five flood warnings (expect imminent flooding) and 47 flood alerts (flooding possible) across the UK including one on the other side of Yorkshire along the River Derwent, near Scarborough.

The area covered by flood alerts (telling people about a possibility of flooding and encouraging them prepare) is generally bigger than that for flood warnings (which alert people that flooding is happening, and they should take action to protect).

The fire hall in Cache Creek is under water due to flooding, as seen in this image taken May 2. Highway 97 was closed Tuesday evening and Wednesday (May 2 and 3) as a result of the flooding.

The recent flooding is part of this natural process; the floodplain is performing its function to prevent flooding in other parts of the river catchment.

The statement goes on to say that widespread flooding is not anticipated, however fast flowing water and flooding of low lying areas and natural floodplains may be expected.

Though Lee is not expected to make landfall in New England, the storm’s heavy rain could trigger isolated inland flooding, high surf could cause coastal flooding, and powerful wind gusts could knock out electricity.

Flooding across the region brings disruption to traveling around the county, but for farmers flooding can kill livestock.

Flood Watch areas are being reminded that heavy rainfall that could lead to flash flooding and river flooding are possible.

He expressed concern that the government’s failure to assist farmers in addressing flooding challenges has hindered the implementation of adequate drainage strategies to control flooding.

In addition to the overall analysis, the agency's sea level team produced high-resolution maps showing which areas of different Pacific Island nations will be vulnerable to g—otherwise known as nuisance flooding or sunny day flooding—by the 2050s.

In autumn, flooding is less frequent, but I'd say there is some form of autumn flooding every other year.

Plus, the 2022 flooding came on the heels of a FEMA-declared flooding disaster in 2021 that the county is also still recovering from.
