CADILLAC â This spring is shaping up to be pretty odd.
With precipitation levels a fraction of what they typically are this time of year, farmers are beginning to stir anxiously as planting season draws near.
At the same time, owners of homes on area lakes and rivers also have noticed how low water levels are at a time when they re usually thinking about flood risk.
Accuweather Senior Meteorologist Paul Walker said while average temperatures for the Cadillac area about 2.8 degrees above normal for April, the area s received only about half of its normal precipitation amounts.
Temperatures swung dramatically Monday night into Tuesday morning, rising from the low 30s to near the 70 degree mark in a little over 24 hours.
That s when flooding can occur.
As director of Osceola County Emergency Management, Watkins said he keeps a close eye on water levels, the degree of soil thaw and other factors this time of year.Â
With temperatures expected to rise into the 50s during the next few days, accompanied by rain, there s a good chance that water levels in lakes and rivers will rise throughout the area.
He said the possibility of flooding is ever-present for people who own homes in the Evart area near the Muskegon River. It s something those residents always have to look out for, Watkins said. It s such a regular thing.
