At 9:11 p.m. yesterday, the National Weather Service extended its flood warning for the St. Mary’s River, as measured at Muldoon Bridge (South Anthony Blvd. Extended), just upstream from Fort Wayne. The warning now remains in effect until 6 a.m. Friday.

At 7:30 a.m. today, the river level was 14.92 feet, which is .92 feet above flood stage, causing minor flooding. That level is the forecast crest, so the river should begin falling today.

At 15.0 feet, flooding occurs on the lowest, unprotected city streets, park drives and county roads.
