MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - The Mississippi River is headed for major flooding in the Metro in the coming days. The river’s at about 15 feet in the St. Paul area and coming up over Lilydale Road. But the forecast calls for the river to rise another five feet by this weekend, so the flooding will get much worse. Only a gate separates the Mississippi River from the waters of the Lilydale Pool and Yacht Club. They watched water levels rise about 1.5 feet Monday and they're hoping it crests Friday, about five feet higher than its current level.
