VICKSBURG (AP) — The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says the latest forecast from the National Weather Service indicates that Missouri River flooding will not result in flooding on the lower Mississippi River.

The statement Friday from the corps’ office in Vicksburg was based on the weather service’s latest 28-day forecast.

The statement says that the Mississippi at Cairo, Ill., is expected to continue to fall.

To put it back above flood stage would require a rain of more than 5 inches over a wide area affecting the lower Missouri, middle Mississippi or the Ohio rivers.

The Mississippi River stood at 54.45 feet at Natchez Friday night.
