THE NB RIVERWATCH IS CAUTIOUSLY OPTOMISTIC WITH ONLY LIGHT SHOWERS THEN A DRY STRETCH INTO NEXT WEEK, UNUSUAL FOR EARLY AND MID APRIL, THAT THE FLOODING CAUSED BY THE SWELLING OF THE SAINT JOHN RIVER WILL BE LESS THAN IN SOME YEARS! THE LOWS OVERNIGHT IN SOME CENTRAL AND NORTHERN CITIES WILL REACH AS LOW AS -8C AND WILL HELP SLOW THE MELT AND CONTROL FLOW GOING INTO THE SAINT JOHN RIVER SYSTEM. EVEN WITH ALL THAT , THERE IS A WARNING IN PLACE FOR FREDERICTON WITH LEVELS REACHING 7.6 M , IN JEMSEG REACHING 4.3 M AND IN GAGETOWN REACHING 4.6 M. IN SAINT JOHN TOMORROW THERE COULD BE SOME MINOR FLOODING AND A WATCH IS IN PLACE FOR US.
