The National Weather Service said several portions of the Mississippi River will have near-record crests on Wednesday. Dozens of counties are under flood warnings.
Numerous towns along the northern reaches of the Mississippi River could experience “major” flooding in the coming days, according to the National Weather Service.
The National Weather Service reported that in Wabasha, Minnesota, the Mississippi River reached 17 feet early Wednesday for just the fourth time in recorded history. The crest there was the highest in 22 years, the National Weather Service said. The river is still rising in Genoa, Wisconsin, where it is expected to crest at 636 feet on Thursday, marking the fourth time the river has climbed to major flood stage. Downstream, the river is expected to crest in McGregor, Iowa, on Sunday at 24 feet. It is expected to be the second-highest crest in history there.
