The fireworks are still on for Monday night in Jefferson City.
In a news conference Wednesday, Mayor Eric Struemph announced the expected river level of 26 to 27 feet should not affect the annual Independence Day fireworks display.
The remainder of the July 4 festivities also are not expected to be affected by the river levels. If low-lying city streets are impassable because of high water, festival attendees are reminded to check the Salute to America website for updated information.
