Water levels and river flows in many locations are at near normal conditions, though some areas remain elevated. 

Be advised:

• Residents, visitors, and boaters are advised to use extreme caution near dams, as recent high-water levels may have affected safety booms, signage, barriers, and other safety features.
• Lower-lying portions of known flood-prone areas and forest access roads may still be impacted to varying degrees. 
• Keep a close watch on weather conditions, exercise caution near fast moving rivers and streams and maintain close supervision of children and pets. 
• In areas still experiencing high water levels, please slow down and be mindful of your wake.
