The Fox River Continues To Rise

AT 3:45 AM this morning the stage was 2.0 feet, however, observed stages are being affected by gate operations at the Algonquin Dam.
Flood stage is 3.0 feet.

Forecast:
Since river stages upstream of Algonquin continue to rise, the river is still expected to rise to near flood stage early Friday at Algonquin.
Impact at 3.0 feet—flooding begins to affect residences along River Road in Fox River Grove.
Water inundates some streets in mobile home park in northwest Elgin. Street flooding begins in Holiday Hills.
