29 MARCH 2019 - ST. PAUL, MN: A temporary flood wall holds back the Mississippi River at the St. Paul Downtown Airport. One runway at the airport is closed because of the potential for flooding and the height of the flood wall. The Mississippi River through the Twin Cities has already hit flood stage. Several roads and parks in St Paul are already closed in anticipation of higher flood levels. Weather forecasters and hydrologists have backed off a little on earlier predictions of severe flooding because the snow melt has been slower than expected. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
