High water will continue to wind its way through Prince George for the next couple of days but the worst should soon be over for this year's spring freshet, River Forecast Centre head David Campbell said Monday.
As of yesterday afternoon, the level at South Fort George was just under the 9.4 metre mark signifying flood level and was expected to reach 9.7 to 10 metres by today.
However, that's still below the peak of 10.02 metres seen a week ago.
"Not fully out of the woods but not expecting higher levels than we've seen," Campbell said during a teleconference with provincial media. "And then once we're through that, at this point the weather's looking reasonable and we're expecting to see some drops."
