Some showers
are expected over the weekend but rainfall amounts should be light
and will not affect river levels.
Shellmouth Reservoir is
still three feet above the spillway elevation but is falling steadily.
The crest on the
Assiniboine River is expected at Virden late tomorrow.
Additional rises from
Portage la Prairie to Headingley should be minimal.
With favourable weather,
flooding on the Assiniboine River should end by May 23.
Levels of the Carrot River
continue to decline slowly. Updated levels for mile 22 to mile 9 will be
available tomorrow.
The level of Red Deer Lake
declined about two inches since yesterday and should continue to fall at about
the same rate for the next ten days, except for fluctuations due to changes in
wind. It will take about two more weeks until the clean-up can commence.
