Heavy rain due to repeated rounds of thunderstorms during the middle of April resulted in the Lemonweir River at New Lisbon reaching flood stage during the evening hours on April 14th. The river crested in major flood stage and near the flood of record during the evening hours on April 16th before falling below flood stage during the afternoon on April 21st.
Ongoing river flooding on the Lemonwier River at New Lisbon that began in June persisted into July where the river crested at 10.81 feet in minor flood stage during the morning hours on July 1st. The river eventually fell below flood stage on July 3rd during the afternoon.
Significant rainfall throughout June and early July pushed the Lemonwier River at New Lisbon into flood stage on July 4th. The river stage crested during the late morning on July 6th in minor flood stage at 10.96 ft.
Significant rainfall later into June pushed the Lemonweir River at New Lisbon into flood stage late on June 25th. The river stage crested during the morning on June 27th in minor flood stage at 10.28 ft.
Runoff from heavy rain pushed the Lemonweir River out of its banks in New Lisbon. The river crested just under two feet above the flood stage at 11.85 feet.
