 ...POWDER RIVER CONTINUES TO RISE TO NEAR FLOOD STAGE...
RECENT RAINS AND RELEASES FROM THE MASON DAM HAVE CAUSED THE POWDER 
RIVER IN BAKER COUNTY TO RISE SHARPLY TODAY. THESE RELEASES FROM THE 
DAM HAVE CONTINUED AT A SLOWER PACE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL 
CAUSE THE RIVER TO RISE AT A SLOWER RATE. THE CREST ON THE RIVER IS 
NOW EXPECTED TO OCCUR SLIGHTLY UNDER THE 4 FOOT FLOOD STAGE BEFORE 
RECEDING. THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS BUT THE RIVER 
WILL BE BANKFULL FOR A PERIOD OF SEVERAL HOURS.
