The Sabine River in Deweyville has gone down slightly during the past two days, but the National Weather Service is expecting it to start rising again. This afternoon the forecast is for the river to reach 26.3 feet by Monday evening. At 26 feet, water begins to get into residences in the River Oaks and Indian Lake areas.
The river this morning was at 24.6 feet, a half foot above the flood lever of 24 feet.
The Sabine River Authority continues to have nine gates open at the Toledo Bend Reservoir dam upstream. Since Monday evening, six gates have been opened at four feet and three gates at three feet.
