...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR EAST CENTRAL MIDLAND COUNTY IS
CANCELLED...

Now that the flood wave from the breach of Edenville and Sanford 
Dams has passed, rapid significant rises along the Tittabawassee 
river are no longer expected. Hence, the Flash Flood Warning for the 
river has been cancelled. Remaining major flooding along the river 
will be addressed by the existing areal flood warning along the 
immediate river basin.

Major flooding will continue along the Tittabawassee as runoff from 
excessive heavy rainfall continues and river level rises are 
exacerbated by the drainage of Wixom Lake and Sanford Lake now that 
the dams have been breached.

While remaining in significant flood, river levels should slowly 
begin to fall between Edenville and Sanford today. The river should 
crest at Midland this afternoon or evening at record levels most 
likely somewhere between 35 and 36 feet with significant flooding 
continuing in the city. River levels will continue to rise, but more 
gradually, through tonight downstream of Midland as the runoff 
continues to work its way toward the Saginaw River.

Follow evacuation instructions provided by your local emergency 
officials as river levels remain extremely high. Do not attempt to 
drive across flooded roadways. Please continue to heed any remaining 
road closures as well..
