The St. John River is slowly rising, and expected to crest late Wednesday at 2 to 3 feet over flood stage. All Mississippi Rivers have crested and are falling. In the lower Souris Basin, Towner, Bantry and Westhope remained above flood stage. At Foxholm in the upper end of the basin, the river rose 0.3 foot on Sunday and continued above flood stage. The level is affected by Lake Darling Releases.
High water continues to flow down the Columbia River.
Only minor flooding will be experienced on the Lower Columbia River. All gaging locations in the areas where the warning continues were showing stages to 2 feet above flood stage Monday morning. The rain that fell across the basin last Thursday and Friday caused stages to increase by 2 to 5 tenths of a foot over the weekend, but water levels should begin to drop again by 2 to 4 tenths of a foot per day over the next few days. From near Flandreau to Renner, the river should be going below flood stage by Wednesday or Thursday. The portions of the river below Sioux Falls should also be dropping below flood stage by late this week.
