The River Alliance is monitoring rainfall and the level of the Congaree River.

By Sunday afternoon, a River Alliance report estimated the central Midlands had received 2 to 3 inches of rainfall associated with Hurricane Florence.

Some additional rain was expected through Monday, but estimates were that it would be less than an inch. River Alliance personnel said no significant flash flooding has been detected along local creeks and streams.

The river flood forecasts for the Congaree have also decreased significantly. The Congaree River at Columbia is now forecasted to crest on Wednesday at 9.8 feet -- well below flood stage.

The Congaree River at Congaree National Park is expected to crest on Thursday at 15.8 feet -- minor flood stage.

The forecast may change depending on how much rain falls further up in the watershed. Lake Murray dam operations could also impact the river’s water level.

The River Alliance said SCE&G had also begun reducing flows from Lake Murray, so river levels on the Lower Saluda will be dropping, too. You can view current river levels and planned operations for the Lower Saluda at

Major river flooding is still expected for the eastern parts of both North and South Carolina, including the Neuse, Cape Fear, Lumber, Pee Dee and Waccamaw Rivers.
