Is the Mississippi River expected to flood this year?

My weather Chanel app said there is a flood warning for the Baton Rouge area. It lists the river cresting at 36.5 feet said flood level is 35 feet. To me this sounds off. If I remember correctly back in 2011 when the river really did get to flood levels the river was up to around 55 feet.
OT river experts, what's up with the Mississippi River flooding?

Flood Level for the river differs at different locations. Flood stage is lower the closer one is to the Gulf as the river flows downhill. Also, "Flood Stage" on the Mississippi River is what would be a flood if the levees did not exist. Therefor, the level at which the Mississippi River can actually overflow its levies is significantly above flood stage.

River is unusually high for this time of year, hopefully it goes down before the rise we get from snow melt every year.

If the experts thought there was a reasonable chance of a cataclysmic flood by the Mississippi, wouldn't it be bigger news already?
Weather Channel gonna Weather Channel, no Alpha male has watched more than two consecutive minutes of it.

That's your first mistake. Hard to get corrected when you rely on that app.

Snow was light in the midwest this year. I think the east coast took it all.

I want to say it was around 44-45 ft. in BR in 2011. 36.5 is nothing.
