Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:10:44 GMT

Brace yourself, Twin Cities. The Mississippi River is rising again.Days after announcing that a three-mile stretch of Shepard Road would reopen to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians, St. Paul Public Works officials have had a change of heart. Heavy rain this past weekend in central Minnesota is feeding the Mississippi River. As a consequence, the river in downtown St. Paul could again surpass moderate flood stage by Saturday.Downtown St. Paul river levels, which had fallen to little more than 9 feet as of Monday morning, could reach the minor flood stage of 14 feet by Friday and crest at 16.1 feet on May 22, according to the National Weather Service. That’s despite a dry spell projected to take temperatures into the low 80s on Tuesday.As a result, the city is keeping Shepard Road closed, as it has been since April 16, and additional flood measures are more than likely, even with a bit of a scorcher in the works over the next few days. Low-lying parks and trails are still close...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 14:10:44 GMT

As the Denver Nuggets enter the Western Conference Finals for the second time in four seasons, a breakdown of their matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers:Who has the edge?Guards: For the Nuggets to advance, Jamal Murray needs to find seams within the Lakers’ tight defense and win his matchup. This is a series for Murray. The Lakers’ strength resides in the paint, not on the perimeter. Whether it’s D’Angelo Russell, Austin Reaves, Dennis Schroder, or even potentially Jarred Vanderbilt hounding him, Murray needs to be closer to who he was in the first round than who he was in the second. That means trusting the pass and his teammates. Russell is the most potent scoring threat the Lakers have in their backcourt. Expect former Laker Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to draw the assignment, leaving Murray to deal with Reaves. Also, don’t be surprised if the Lakers start Vanderbilt to help combat Denver’s length. They know their weaknesses. Edge: NuggetsWings: The Nuggets could have a...
