Manitoba's flood forecasters are now predicting a flood higher than 2009 along the Red River.

The province's latest flood outlook indicates that will be the case with normal or average weather conditions for the Red and its tributaries.

With favourable weather, the flood forecast, at this stage, shows the Red River would rise to 2011 flood levels.

With unfavourable weather conditions, water levels will be higher than 2009 levels by almost one foot at Emerson and by 1.5 feet at Ste. Agathe.

The revised outlook echoes an updated forecast from the U.S. National Weather Service, indicating this spring will be a top 10 run-off year that will bring moderate to major flooding in North Dakota.
