The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is decreasing the amount of water it’s releasing from the spillway at Table Rock Dam.

The corps said in a news release that the water flows were reduced Wednesday but could increase again if there is more rain. The corp began releasing more water from the spillway after torrential rains fell across southwest Missouri from Friday through Sunday. Many low lying areas near the lake were inundated.

Flooding also closed some roads and several parking lots near the Branson Landing, which is the downtown shopping area in Branson. The flooding threat has since moved to the eastern part of the state.
