White River

The National Weather Service extended its flood warning for the White River in Anderson through Saturday morning. The river reached 11.3 feet — more than a foot above flood stage — Thursday morning, according to the weather service.

The river was predicted to crest at about 12.5 feet late Thursday or early today. The White River should drop below flood stage this evening, but some low-land flooding is expected, according to the weather service.
