The Caney River near Bartlesville was expected to rise slightly Monday. The current river level is 17.6-feet and was projected to reach 18-feet by 7:00 Monday morning. A steady decrease is now being predicted by the National Weather Service.

Copan and Hulah Lake Dams remain open. 4,203 cubic feet of water is being released from Hulah Lake which has its flood gates open at half a foot. 5,810 cubic feet of water is being dumped from Copan Lake which has its flood gates open at a foot.

Street Department Supervisor Lance Brown said most roadways that have been closed in Bartlesville due to flooding could re-close. Brown said crews will be on hand if waters rise as predicted by the National Weather Service's Advanced Hydrologic Prediction System.

The Copan and Hulah Lake Dams continue to remain open at a foot and a quarter.
