With little to no remaining upriv-er storage, it will take rain, and plenty of it, for the river to rise, but long-range forecasts offer hope. Randy Chamness, co-chairman of the Lower Mississippi River Committee (LOMARC), discussed the challenges facing the system, while also acknowledging a slight respite over the past few days. While controlling drafts between Cairo, Ill., and Vicksburg, Miss., had been holding steady at 9 feet, 6 inches, they were further reduced to 9 feet for about a week before rebounding to the previous level the afternoon of October 23, Chamness said. |
