James River crests in Richmond, now on decline

»  Comments | Post a Comment

A week's worth of rain failed to push the James River to flood levels in Richmond.


The National Weather Service says the James crested this morning at 10.66 feet at the river's Westham Gauge, just west of the Huguenot Bridge. Flood stage at that point is 12 feet.


By early afternoon, the river was back down to 10 feet, and it's projected to continue falling to 9 feet by tomorrow morning.


The weather service says the James is expected to hover at about 9 feet for several days.


More rain is possible this weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are in the forecast for today and tomorrow.
