Residents in communities along the Des Plaines River should see floodwaters begin to recede Monday, but their counterparts living beside the Fox River may not be as fortunate.
Both rivers swelled following the latest round of heavy storms Friday night, with the Des Plaines River expected to reach major flood stage at some point Monday in Lincolnshire and just below it in Gurnee and Des Plaines, according to the National Water Prediction Service.
Forecasters predict the Fox River to continue rising in coming days, cresting just below 12 feet — considered major flood stage — Thursday in Algonquin.
According to a flood warning issued Sunday, at 12 feet structures would be threatened along River Street, Johnson Street and Maiden Lane in East Dundee; North Harrison Street in Algonquin; and Washington Street in Carpentersville. Bayview Road and low-lying areas of Festival Park in Elgin also would be at risk, according to the alert.
