The Assiniboine
River crest passed through Miniota very early this morning.
A rise in the
Qu’Appelle River and some smaller tributaries due to Monday’s rain
is adding somewhat to flows in the upper Assiniboine. However
Shellmouth Reservoir inflow and levels should continue to decline.
The flow at
Southport (Portage la Prairie) has been increased to near 6000 cfs,
with an associated decrease of 1000 cfs in Portage Diversion
flows.
Levels of the Carrot River
and Red Deer Lake continue to decline very slowly.
Information for the Red
River at Winnipeg has been added at the bottom of the Assiniboine River sheet.
Up to 50 mm of rain has fallen in the U.S. portion of the Red River in the
past two days. This will not stop the declines of the River in Manitoba from
now through the weekend but could result in levels of the Red River in
Manitoba holding steady next week.
