(KLZA)-- The latest information from the National Weather Service indicates minor flooding along the Missouri River is expected to continue from Nebraska City, downstream through St. Joseph through at least Tuesday.
The river level is falling, but rains upstream and an increase in the releases from the Gavins Point Dam near Yankton, South Dakota, will keep the river level higher than normal.
The river reading Friday morning at Nebraska City was about 2.3-feet above the 18-foot flood stage. At Brownville the river was 4.5-feet above the 33-foot flood stage and at Rulo the Missouri was 4.5-feet above the 17-foot flood Stage Friday morning.
At St. Joseph the reading was 3.6-feet above the 17-foot flood stage. At Atchison the river is just over a foot above flood stage but is expected to drop below flood stage Saturday night.
