I am writing in regards to flooding along the Katy Trail. My wife and I are planning on biking the Katy next Wednesday through Friday. With the rise of the Missouri, is their the potential of flooding from Jefferson City to St. Charles next week?

Yes there is a possibility for further flooding on the Katy Trail with the continued rain. My friends and I are planning on riding the trail 6/28 to 7/1. Here is the URL to track the river levels in Missouri:http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mo/nwis/current?type=flow&group_key=basin_cd&s. When the level in Boonville gets to be 24 - 25 ft then the trail between Hwy 40 and Rocheport (MM179 - 181.5)usually gets covered. There is an easy detour to bypass this using Hwy 40 and 240. It is still marked on the roadway from the Ride West that the DNR sponsored last week.
