FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE LUMBER RIVER BASIN: 

... LUMBER RIVER IN FLOOD THROUGH PERIOD  ...

THE LUMBER RIVER AT LUMBERTON IS EXPECTED TO 
REMAIN IN MODERATE FLOOD FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
DAYS. THE RIVER IS UNDERGOING A SECOND CREST  
TODAY UPSTREAM AT MAXTON... AND SIMULATED FLOWS 
SUGGEST THE LUMBER WILL REMAIN FAIRLY STEADY FOR
THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS AT LUMBERTON... BEGINNING
A SLOW FALL TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK.
ADDITIONAL RAINS EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND MIGHT
SLOW THE RECESSION.

DOWNSTREAM ON THE LITTLE PEE DEE AT GALIVANTS
FERRY... THE RIVER WILL CONTINUE A SLOW RISE
THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD AS UPSTREAM WATER 
COMES IN. AT THIS POINT THE RIVER IS EXPECTED TO
CREST NEAR FLOOD STAGE THIS WEEKEND. ADDITIONAL
RAIN THIS WEEKEND COULD INCREASE THE PREDICTED 
STAGE AND EXTEND THE PERIOD OF FLOODING.
