Articles of Interest Spring Outlook: Risk of major flooding in North Dakota, moderate flooding in Idaho - Warmer-than-average temperatures favored in much of U.S. this spring Spring Flood Risk Major flooding in northern North Dakota - to include the Souris River, Devils Lake and the northern Red River - may increase with additional storms through April. One area of greatest concern is the Devils Lake area where extensive snowpack and saturated, frozen soils could cause conditions that possibly exceeds the area s record high flood level set in June 2011. In central and southeastern Idaho, a moderate flood risk is forecast for the lower elevations of the Snake River basin due to rapid snowmelt from rain storms on top of snowpack. California and Nevada may experience snowmelt flooding in the spring. Numerous storms this winter brought record-breaking rain and snow to the western United States. Rivers associated with the Sierra Nevada Mountains will experience elevated stream flows and flooding due to the heaviest snowpack in 20 years. Drought Outlook As a result of dry conditions, warm temperatures, and seasonal increased water demands, drought conditions will continue in the Southern Plains and Southeast and is forecast to develop in northwest Texas and eastern New Mexico this spring. Current drought conditions in the northern High Plains, south-central Plains, Tennessee Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast are favored to improve. Temperature and Precipitation Outlook For April through June, above-average temperatures are favored from the Southwest eastward to the Central and Southern Plains, Great Lakes, Southeast and Northeast. Most of Alaska and Hawaii above-average temperatures are favored. Wetter-than-average conditions is forecast for the Northern Rockies, Northern Plains and the Gulf Coast from Texas to the western Florida Panhandle. Below-average precipitation is favored for the western half of Alaska and eastern Hawaii during April through June. (Source: NOAA) 4 (Back to top)
