Here’s how high the St. Johns River could reach near these Central Florida cities

Communities along the St. Johns River have been plagued by intense flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton last week.

Even after Milton left the state, some areas along the river have reached staggering flood levels.

In Astor, the river reached over 4.7 feet of flooding over the weekend, though that figure has since crept down a bit.

But other areas haven’t been so lucky. Flooding in the river near Sanford and DeLand has continued to surge, and the National Water Prediction Service forecasts these flood levels to keep rising. The waters are even expected to rise yet again in Astor.

Near Christmas, the water levels have risen from 9 feet on Saturday to nearly 9.5 feet. That level gets even higher upstream near Cocoa, where the levels have reached well over 15 feet high, with no sign yet of notable decline.

The following are the NWPS’ flood level readings and predictions along the St. Johns River as of Tuesday at 5:30 p.m.:

Meanwhile, other waterways in the region are also suffering from heavy flooding.

The Withlacoochee River has seen historic flood levels since Milton, with many neighborhoods along the river being impacted by the rise. By this weekend, the river could be over 13 feet in some areas.

Near Altamonte Springs, the Little Wekiva River has actually been on a slow downward trend. From Saturday evening, the water level has dropped from under 30 feet to just over 28 feet on Tuesday afternoon.

The same is true of the Econlockhatchee River, which is also dropping from its max flood stage last week near Chuluota and Oviedo.
