The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will open the first bay of Louisiana's Morganza Spillway at 3 p.m. Saturday (4 p.m. ET), Col. Ed Fleming said.
The move is aimed at lowering anticipated cresting levels along the rising Mississippi River and divert water from Baton Rouge and New Orleans.
The move would flood parts of low-lying south-central Louisiana.
