| episode_narrative | Runoff from rainfall and rapid snowmelt of January 21st through 23rd caused some rivers in extreme southeast Michigan to exceed flood stage. Up to two inches of rain fell in this time period, and temperatures rose into the lower 50s. These combined to almost completely melt a snowpack that was initially around 18 inches deep across most of the area. The Lower Rouge River at Inkster exceeded flood stage of 10.0 feet at 4 am on the 23rd. The river crested at 11.0 feet at 10 pm on the 24th, then fell below flood stage at 9 am on the 25th. |
