river-flood-warning

The National Weather Service is continuing a Flood Warning for the Embarras River at Lawrenceville until Friday. The river was at 31.08 feet Monday morning, close to two feet above its 30 foot flood stage. The river has been on the rise due to extensive weekend rainfall across the upper Embarras River Basin flowing downstream combining with snowmelt of the recent accumulation over the area. The river is forecast to crest Tuesday evening at just above 33 feet and begin to fall. It is anticipated to fall below flood early Friday morning.
