The National Weather Service forecasts the river to crest around 18.5 feet by early Friday morning, then fall below 18 feet by Friday evening. Looking ahead, the rain will be changing to snow as temperatures plunge. Here is more detailed look at the forecast: Keep checking back with Sewickley Patch for updates.
