The Otter Creek will remain in minor flood stage into early next week.Late Friday night, the level was reported at 6.2 feet. Flood stage is 6.5 feet.It appeared that the gauge had been impacted by some sort of disturbance, perhaps debris in the water flow.The forecast is for a foot of rise by Saturday morning, some drop early Sunday, then another rise going into Monday.The highest level should happen on Monday or later.The forecast crest is 7.7 feet Monday morning, but that is very dependent on the rainfall Sunday.It may be higher than that, but at that level the water drains into swamps and lowlands in the area, which is why there is no “moderate” or “major” flood stage at this location.
