The City continues to monitor the forecast and river gauge for the next 24 hours and more. Here is an update for Thursday morning, May 2, 2019:
– The Elkhart River in Goshen has crested at 9.12 ft., meaning water levels at the river are lowering. That may change if there is additional rain. According to the National Weather Service, this crest compares to a previous crest of 8.9 ft that occurred March 12, 2009.
– Roads and trails that were closed Wednesday afternoon continue to be closed this morning, with the exception of Oakridge Park and the Rock Run Creek trail, where water has receded.
