FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The National Weather Service has pushed back the expected crest of the Red River in the Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., area from Saturday to Sunday.

The new projection shows the river cresting at 20 feet above flood stage on Sunday morning. Weather service spokesman Bill Barrett says there is still snowmelt in some of the tributaries that has yet to get into the system.

Moorhead City Manager Michael Redlinger says the city is on pace to have sandbagging done by Saturday, but that it's nice to have another day to work with.
