Lake Red Rock Rising

The Army Corps of Engineers says recent heavy rain's raised the level of Lake Red Rock near Knoxville. The lake level this morning was 769.3 feet and is expected to hit 774 feet by Sunday. The inflow and more rain in the forecast mean officials are considering increasing the outflow from the dam over the next several days. KCCI reports plans call for a release of 30,000 cfs if the pool rises to 775 feet, which could mean some downstream flooding.
