Flood in Central Midwest, USA
Flood stage in Cairo is at 40 feet, and the river is expected to crest soon at 60.5. Additional heavy rains of 2+ inches overnight in southern Illinois caused many smaller streams to again rise to flood levels. This is in addition to already high levels on larger streams in southern IL. Water levels exceed NWS Flood Stage at 40 USGS streamgages in IL.
Moderate to major flooding is occurring on the Kaskaskia, Big Muddy, Illinois, Little Wabash Rivers as well as border rivers (Wabash, Mississippi and Ohio Rivers).
