...The Flood Warning is extended for the following river and
location in Indiana...Illinois...
Wabash River at Riverton.
...The Flood Warning continues for the following river and location
in Indiana...
Wabash River at Lafayette.
.Rainfall of just over one inch fell yesterday in the Lafayette,
Indiana area, bringing the level of the Wabash River back above
flood stage at Lafayette. The river is expected to crest less than
one foot above flood stage Thursday, then drop below flood stage
Thursday night.
Downstream of Lafayette, the Wabash River continues to recede in
most areas from significant rainfall earlier in April. The more
recent rainfall over northern reaches of the river may slow or even
temporarily reverse this recession in the coming days, but at this
time flooding is not expected to return elsewhere, and flooding will
end at Riverton overnight tonight.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
Flooding is occurring or is imminent. Most flood related deaths
occur in automobiles. Do not attempt to cross water covered bridges,
dips, or low water crossings. Never try to cross a flowing stream,
even a small one, on foot. To escape rising water find another route
over higher ground.

The next statement should be issued Thursday morning by around 1045
AM EDT /945 AM CDT/.
