NEW YORK — The Mississippi River is cresting in the north to dangerous levels, while the water continues to rise downriver in the Midwest.
Flooding has threatened communities along the upper Mississippi River this week due to the rapid melting of a giant snowpack in Minnesota.
The river is continuing to rise downriver; in Davenport, Iowa, the river is forecast to crest Monday into Tuesday at 21.6 feet, which would be the highest level since 2019. The halt will likely force shipments of grain and fertilizer to be diverted to alternative shipping means, such as rail or automotive.
