Provincial forecasters are predicting the Saint John River won't quite reach flood stage in the local area over the next two days.
They say with the expected warmer temperatures and rainfall -- there will be a marginal increase in water levels - but - no where near flood stage.
Locally -- the river is expected to peak at 2.7-meters above normal by tomorrow and remain near that level through Wednesday -- but -- that's only about half way to flood stage in the Oak Point and greater Saint John area.
