RIVERTON, Wyo. (AP) - The Wind River has returned within its banks in central Wyoming, but the Green River has risen above flood stage near La Barge in the southwest part of the state.
The National Weather Service reported minor flooding along the Green River on Thursday morning in Sublette and Lincoln counties.
It says some homes and fields south of La Barge were seeing high water.
The river crested Thursday and was expected to begin a slow decline.
In Fremont County, the Wind River crested more than 2 feet (61 centimeters) above flood stage at Riverton this week before starting to recede on Wednesday.
The high water in western and central Wyoming was being caused by recent heavy rain on top of rivers and streams already swollen with runoff from the mountain snowpack
