Cannon River in Northfield May Rise to Problematic Levels

Following heavy rain across southern Minnesota last week, the Cannon River in Northfield could continue to rise to flood levels in some areas over the next several days.

The Northfield Police Department is monitoring rising water levels in the Cannon River and is warning businesses and residents in flood prone areas that the river could continue to rise to problematic levels in Northfield.

There are already some flooding issues near the Cannon River Park between Faribault and Northfield.

Northfield police urge businesses and residents in flood prone areas to monitor water levels near their property and be prepared to protect their property if necessary.
