By 12:30 this afternoon the Missouri River stage at St Joseph was 17.29 feet, just over minor flood stage, on its way to an expected crest of 22.6 feet by Saturday afternoon. At that level Riverfront Park in St Joe would be flooded and property along the Nodaway River would see some backwater flooding. The Missouri is expected to dip back below flood stage by about Tuesday.
