That means area rivers are once again being watched closely.
That includes the Muskegon River in Newaygo County, which has been prone to severe flooding in the past.

“The heavy rainfall events is kind of what for and poses the biggest risk. So if we get heavy rain, anything over an inch, anytime between now and when the snow is gone and the ground is melted, then that can cause issues not only on our river, but that can also cause issues on the ground,” said Watkins.
