The Red River’s rise to a second crest appears to be more manageable, but Cass County officials said Tuesday that they expect it could be several weeks before waters recede due to breakouts by the Sheyenne River.

In addition, county officials said they will travel to Bismarck Wednesday to ask lawmakers to pump the state’s transportation budget to help pay for hundreds of miles of county roads and bridges damaged locally and across the state by flooding.

The National Weather Service dropped its crest prediction for the Red a full foot to 37 feet, expected to happen sometime Friday or Saturday. The Red is at 33.22 feet today, the NWS reports.

Mark Ewens, a data acquisition project manager for the weather service, said the recent dry weather, the right temperatures for a slower melt, warming topsoil holding more moisture, and ponding is helping to bring an end to the flooding that came “in a gush” in March.

Nonetheless, the water gorging the Sheyenne River is unlikely to go down for awhile, said Jeffry Volk, an engineer with West Fargo’s Moore Engineering.
