摘要：	Recent rain showers and the expectation ot more as Hurricane Nicole moves inland are helping stabilize the depth of the Lower Mississippi River, but congestion remains a problem as closures for dredging continue. Randy Chamness, co-chair of the Lower Mississippi River Committee (LOMRC), said some parts of Missouri have recently received more than 2 inches of rain, and areas farther east have generally seen 1 to 1-1/2 inches of precipitation. At press time, Hurricane Nicole was expected to deliver more rain to some parts of Ohio and northern Kentucky along the Ohio River Valley. "Everybody's holding their breath, wondering how much they're going to get," he said. Overall, Chamness described conditions along the Lower Mississippi as "somewhat stabilized." "It's been very nice to have the extra water in the system, but we need a lot more to get us out of this, obviously," he said. The river s width and depth are now maintaining in most locations instead of continuing to deteriorate, he added.
