The James River in Richmond continues to rise above flood stage mid-day Tuesday, with Flood Warnings remaining in effect until Thursday.
Upstream at the Cartersville gauge, the James is nearly at its peak for this flood event, with moderate flooding expected to top out at 24.2 ft.
The next site downstream is at Richmond Westham, which just crossed moderate stage flooding at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday. Cresting should occur at 1 a.m. Wednesday, then fall below flood stage by 7 a.m. Thursday.
The final stop on our trip downstream is at Richmond Locks, which should remain below moderate flood stage, cresting around 1 a.m. Wednesday at 15.4 feet.
These expected crests are lower than initially indicated. We'll continue to provide updates on WTVR.com on the flooding along the James through Wednesday.
