Hydrologic Outlook issued February 17 at 9:43AM EST by NWS Grand Rapids MI

Effective: Tue February 17, 2026, 9:43 AM
Expires: Thu February 19, 2026, 1:30 PM

ESFGRR Steady melting of snow and ice over the last week has begun to cause rivers to rise across the area. Several chances for rain this week will add to these rises. Based on current expected rainfall, no significant flooding is expected on West Michigan rivers, though typical spring water level rises within the river channels will happen. Meanwhile, river ice has weakened significantly over the last week, and as water levels rise any remaining ice will likely be broken and start to move downstream. This creates the possibility for formation of a few ice jams. Ice jams tend to form in the same places repeatedly, so special attention should be paid in the Comstock Park (Kent County) area as well as the Robinson Township (Ottawa County) area along the Grand River. Anyone living or working near West Michigan rivers should pay extra attention this week as water levels rise. Have a plan to monitor and respond if flooding develops unexpectedly.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
