Statewide Iowa — (RI) — Climate observers are renewing their warning of conditions that could lead to another round of widespread flooding this spring, especially in the Missouri River valley.
Doug Kluck, the Central Region climate service director for the National Weather Service in Kansas City, says there is a lot of water locked up across the region.
Kluck says the updated forecasts are not optimistic as they predict a continued cold, wet winter.
Kluck says if snowfall for the remaining two months of winter is relatively average, that may also spell trouble.
Significant flooding started in northwest Iowa in March of last year and some residents of the area still haven’t been able to return to their homes — after ten months.
