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.. LAT...LON 4368 8436 4368 8442 4353 8417 4357 8417 $$ DG
