Mississippi River levels at Cape Girardeau are expected to crest Monday, May 8, at 26.5 feet, well shy of the flood stage at 32 feet. Thirty-two locations along the river are either in or are forecast to be in a major flood stage from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois. In La Crosse, Wisconsin, the river crested Wednesday, April 26, to its highest level since 2001. Rapid melting of a giant Minnesota snowpack is blamed for the flooding danger.
