Spring Flooding Likely Due To Above Average Snowpack

Archer FloodingNorthwest Iowa — The U-S Army Corps of Engineers predicts several waterways in northwest Iowa will flood this spring, based on current snowpack conditions in the Missouri River basin.

Corps of Engineers Hydrologist Kevin Low says says with the condition of the current snowpack, some of the rivers in our area will go over their banks this spring.

He says there has already been some flooding of tributaries due to ice jams.

The Corps’ forecast includes above-average run-off into the Missouri River basin for February, March and April.
