Spring Flood Watch: Rain and Rate of Warming Will Be Key
Predicting spring flooding is as much an art as it is a science. Snow cover is higher than average, with 5-8" of liquid water trapped in all that snow. If we see heavy rain and rapid warming in March and April we may see significant river and stream flooding later this spring. If you've had flooding issues in the past you should stay alert and up to date with the latest NWS flood outlook
