South Branch still rising downstream

The Moorefield gage shows the South Branch crested overnight, but river levels continue to rise downstream at Springfield and on the main stem of the Potomac at Paw Paw.  The original prediction of 8 feet for Springfield was reduced to 7 feet yesterday and then 6 feet overnight, but the actual level may approach 7 feet.  The river will only reach the Action Level downstream at Little Falls, where special gates are raised to protect riverfront restaurants in Georgetown.
