MONTGOMERY, Ill. (Sun-Times Media Wire) ― The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for areas that include the Fox River in Montgomery. Officials said at 8 a.m. Friday the river was at 12.5 feet in Montgomery, the stage at which the banks are full.

Flood stage is considered 13 feet, and the weather service estimated the river could rise to a stage of 12.8 feet in Montgomery by Saturday.

The weather service said with a 20 to 30 percent chance of more rain both Sunday and Monday nights, people should be aware of the river rising to possible flood stage.

The flood warning for Montgomery remains in effect until Tuesday evening, officials said.
