The threat of flooding along the Kankakee River continues after an ice jam near the Grundy-Will line has caused the river to back up all the way to Custer Park.
Flash flooding in Phelan Acres, Cottage Road, Kelly Road and the Des Plaines Conservation Area occurred throughout the week as ice jams formed at various sections, stretching east and west of Interstate 55.
Above-freezing temperatures expected the rest of this week should allow for gradual melting of ice. The question is what will happen once it begins to break up.
