GRAND FORKS — The Red River at the Greater Grand Forks area sat at 45.6 feet as of Wednesday morning and is expected to decline slightly by the end of the day.
On Tuesday, April 27, the National Weather Service lowered the expected crest level of the Red River to 46 feet, which is considered a major flood stage, after originally projecting the river to crest at 48.5 feet within the week.
Greg Gust, with the National Weather Service, said the river level in the Greater Grand Forks area is holding slightly below 46 feet for now.
While rain is expected later in the week, Gust said it is still unknown how much of an impact the precipitation would have on the Red River level in Grand Forks and north.
“Anything coming in from Friday into Saturday or Sunday is not yet in the river modeling system,” Gust said. “At this point we’re still holding back from putting that in there because of the huge degree of uncertainty.”
