Communities begin preparing for anticipated flooding this weekend
SUMMARY: Flood watches continue in St. Louis, particularly in Valley Park, where meteorologist Haley Fitzpatrick reports on the floodgate closures due to rising water levels. The forecast predicts a crest of 29 feet, down from earlier estimates, but significant flooding on Marshall Road has already occurred. River levels are still rising, affecting highways and local infrastructure, with standing water reported on I-44. Crews are relocating maintenance equipment to higher ground as nearby parks face flooding. The situation is being monitored closely, with city workers preparing for further impacts as water levels continue to threaten roadways and facilities.
As areas on both sides of the river near the weekend, many residents and communities are taking action to prepare for this weekend’s rising water levels.
