PIERRE - According to a monthly report from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, October runoff into the Missouri River system was above normal.
Even though runoff was 104 percent of normal in October, the system is expected to end the year at 84 percent, the corps said in its report.
Lake Oahe, north of Pierre, was 18.5 feet below its normal level for the end of October but is more than eight feet higher than last year, the corps said. Officials think the lake will rise about a foot in November.
