FLOODING DUE TO SNOW MELT AND ICE JAMS MAY OCCUR THIS WEEKEND
AND EARLY NEXT WEEK…
THE GRADUAL SNOW MELT THAT HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS
WILL INCREASE IN MAGNITUDE DURING THE UPCOMING WEEKEND.
TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH THE 40S IN MANY LOCATIONS…TO
AROUND 50 IN THE SOUTH. THE WATER CONTENT OF THE SNOW VARIES
FROM AROUND AN INCH TOWARD THE MISSOURI BORDER…UP TO BETWEEN
FOUR AND EIGHT INCHES IN AREAS ALONG AND WEST OF INTERSTATE 35 AND
ALONG AND NORTH OF HIGHWAY 30.
IF THIS WARM UP DOES OCCUR…THEN MUCH OF THIS WATER WILL BE
RELEASED INTO RIVERS AND STREAMS…INCREASING OUR RISK OF
FLOODING. IN ADDITION…RAINFALL AMOUNTS UP TO A QUARTER INCH MAY
ACCUMULATED THIS WEEKEND…WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AN ADDITIONAL
QUARTER TO HALF INCH EARLY NEXT WEEK AS A SECOND SYSTEM IS
ANTICIPATED TO MOVE ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER…SOME UNCERTAINTY
EXISTS WITH THIS SECOND STORM SYSTEM AS THE LATEST FORECAST HAS
PUSHED THE TRACK FURTHER SOUTH. THIS WILL LEAD TO SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND LESS CHANCES OF MODERATE RAINFALL AMOUNTS.
REGARDLESS…THE EXPECTED RAINFALL AMOUNTS FROM THIS WEEKEND AND
POSSIBLY EARLY NEXT WEEK WILL ADD TO THE RUNOFF AND FLOOD
POTENTIAL. WITH MANY RIVERS STILL FROZEN OVER…SOME LOCATIONS MAY
ALSO EXPERIENCE MORE RAPID RISES AND FLASH FLOODING DUE TO ICE
JAMS.
THE SEVERITY OF FLOODING AT ANY PARTICULAR LOCATION IS DIFFICULT
TO DETERMINE AT THIS TIME. MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS…OUTLOOKS
AND POTENTIALLY WATCHES LATER THIS WEEK FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
