Here is the National Weather Service hydraulic site I use for the Merrimack.It shows levels and trends.It forecasts my river to rise 1 1/2feet in 2 days.Other stations can be found on this site.Cross your fingers.

I'm no expert, but I'd be buying boots. Not to make lite of your situation, I think the tide will be up over what is normal.
