PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP, MI — It might be a good month to invest in some waders if you have waterfront property in West Michigan.

The National Weather Service currently has seven flood warnings and 12 flood advisories listed across West, Mid- and Southwest Michigan, with the Comstock Park area north of Grand Rapids bearing the brunt of the soggy conditions.

On top of that, the week ahead looks soggy, with a strong chance of rain each of the next seven days, and meteorologists say the long-term outlook shows a 50 percent chance of above normal precipitation levels.

“It’s hard to say exactly how high the rivers will get but flooding will continue to be a pretty large concern all next week and probably the week after that if it keeps raining like this,” said Evan Webb, meteorologist in the NWS office in Grand Rapids.

As of mid-day Sunday, the Grand River at Comstock Park had risen to 14.1 feet, which pushed the area into the NWS category of “moderate” flooding, said Webb.

“That’s what happens when you get widespread 3 to 5 inches of rain like we did last week.”

Still, Webb said the river is expected to crest at 14.5 inches on Monday morning and, unless the sky really opens up this week, any further rise is expected to be minimal.

Smaller creeks and streams already have crested and are receding. Larger rivers, however, rise more slowly, said Webb, resulting in the widespread flood warnings and advisories.

Currently, there are flooded basements in homes on Konkle Drive, Riverbank Street, Willow Drive and Abridador Drive NE in Plainfield Township, with the latter street being entirely closed to traffic.

The flooding is similar to a previous river crest at 14 feet at Comstock Park in 2011. The Grand River is expected to fall below flood stage in the area by Thursday evening.
