The National Weather Service reports that different areas of Kalamazoo have received between 0.5 and 0.75 inch of rainfall so far this morning. Additional storms are currently moving into the Kalamazoo area.

NWS predicts that Kalamazoo will receive at least another 0.5 inch of rainfall this afternoon and evening, with total additional rainfall of approximately 1 to 1.25 inches possible over the next 24 hours, depending on the track and movement of the storms. An additional 0.5 inch of rainfall is possible through Thursday.

This heavy rainfall will likely result in temporary urban flooding, particularly in low-lying areas such as Crosstown. City Public Services already has crews out clearing drains to help prevent street flooding and reduce the impacts if temporary flooding does occur.

Residents are encouraged to use caution when traveling through areas that are prone to flooding and never drive through flooded roadways. It can be difficult to accurately judge the depth of water on a roadway until it is too late, and even a lower amount of water than you may expect can disable a vehicle.

Safer crossings are taking shape on Portage Street!

Crews are pouring concrete for new pedestrian refuge islands: places where people can pause partway across the street and check traffic from one direction at a time before continuing.

They’re part of a broader set of safety improvements along Portage Street, including a center lane for left turns, updated curb ramps, pedestrian lighting, bike lanes, and improvements to the street surface. Together, these changes will help make everyday trips safer and more comfortable, whether you’re crossing the street, turning into a business, or biking through the neighborhood.

Portage Street remains open during construction, with one lane maintained in each direction. Thank you for your patience as crews complete these improvements!
