HYDROLOGIC STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GAYLORD MI
956 PM EDT WED MAY 29 2013

FOR THE RIFLE RIVER...THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS ARE INCLUDED: STERLING.

RECENT RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2 INCHES ACROSS THE AREA HAS CAUSED A SHARP
RISE ON THE RIFLE RIVER NEAR STERLING. THE RIVER APPEARS TO
BE CRESTING RIGHT AROUND 5.25 FEET THIS EVENING...AND IS EXPECTED
TO GRADUALLY FALL HEADING INTO THE DAY ON THURSDAY. BECAUSE SOILS
ARE WET AND SATURATED...ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN FROM THUNDERSTORMS
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS MAY PUSH THE RIVER BACK CLOSER TO FLOOD STAGE.

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN GAYLORD WILL CLOSELY MONITOR RIVER
LEVELS...AND WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS OR WARNINGS AS
CONDITIONS WARRANT.
