Meteorologists are watching the skies with hopes rain will help bring river levels back up to normal.

Along the St. Croix River in Stillwater, historic low river levels are expected in days if there is no rain.

“The river level at Stillwater is near where it was on July of ’88 so that is kind of getting towards the low end,” said NOAA Meteorologist Michael Griesinger.
