Hydrologic Outlook issued March 9 at 3:09PM EDT by NWS Grand Rapids MI

Effective: Mon March 9, 2026, 3:09 PM
Expires: Tue March 10, 2026, 3:15 PM

ESFGRR Significant ponded and standing water could impact travel Tuesday Night and Wednesday morning as heavy rain moves back into the area, especially along and south of I-96. Saturated soils from recent rainfall will make this problem worse, especially if storms track over urban areas repeatedly. As this water finds its way into the rivers, some minor river flooding is expected later this week, as water levels are still high after last weekends rains. With rain totals of 1-2 inches possible, the most at-risk rivers for flooding are the mid-sized tributaries on the Grand River, including the Maple River, Sycamore Creek, and the Red Cedar River. If rain amounts overperform, minor flooding on the Grand River itself will be possible. The latest water level data is always available at weather.gov/grr This statement will be updated on Tuesday, March 10, 2026.


Hydrologic Outlook issued March 10 at 2:04PM EDT by NWS Grand Rapids MI

Effective: Tue March 10, 2026, 2:04 PM
Expires: Tue March 10, 2026, 3:15 PM

ESFGRR Confidence is increasing that several rounds of heavy rain will affect southern Lower Michigan starting this evening. The heaviest rain appears likely to fall along the I-94 corridor, and possibly up toward the Lansing area. This statement has been replaced with a Flood Watch. The latest weather and water information is always at weather.gov/grr This statement will not be updated.

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.
