Northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin have the highest probability of severe weather. Showers will continue over the Pacific Northwest east through the northern Rockies. The rest of the nation should experience warm and dry weather on Friday. Snowmelt from heavy snow which recently fell in the Pah Rah Mountains is causing minor flooding of small streams.
Minor flooding continues at several locations along the Ohio River.
The Lower Ohio River is falling at all locations. With dry weather expected over the next few days, most locations along the river will continue to fall. Many areas along the Mississippi River continue to experience minor flooding. The current forecasts call for a continued falling trend. Several locations previously above or close to flood stage are below flood stage now.
