Mississippi River Flooding

Some of our readers have property interests along the Mississippi River.  While I've not posted routine flood information on this site, I think we are in a unique situation regarding river stage forecasts.  The graphic below is a rough estimate of stages and crest dates.   This forecast is dependent on total rainfall in the upper Mississippi River valley, as well as rainfall we have locally.

It is worth noting that the forecast crests challenge the floods of 1973 and 1937.
