摘要：	A little rain falling at the right time and in the right place helped to slow a predicted sharp decline on the Upper Mississippi, but it wasn't able to stop it altogether. While initial forecasts called for the river to reach. -5 feet in St. Louis on December 13, which would have put it in the top six lowest levels since the beginning of record-keeping in the 1860s, the rain held the river level to -0.69 feet instead. However, forecasts continued to call for lower stages. The 28-day forecast issued December 13 predicted a fall to -3.2 feet in St. Louis by December 20 and then continuing to fall, to -4.7 feet by December 27 and as low as -5.4 feet by January 10, the farthest the Corps of Engineers' long-range forecast for the Upper Mississippi River goes out. The record is -6.2 feet on January 16, 1940.
