(KLZA_-- The National Weather Service assessment of the chance for spring time flooding in Nebraska calls for below normal risk, except for portions of southeast Nebraska and extreme southwest Iowa, where there is a potential for minor flooding.
Higher snow pack in the Dakotas and Upper Mississippi Valley is expected to melt into parts of the Missouri River Basin and create a threat of flooding over southeast Nebraska and extreme southwest, Iowa.
Any flooding that does occur this spring will be largely dependent on the location and intensity of additional precipitation. The snow cover in Nebraska will be a non-issue in the flood outlook.
Snow pack in Colorado and Wyoming that feeds the Platte River is below normal at 80 - 105 percent. The snowpack across the mountains in Montana that feed the Missouri River was 100 - 125 percent of normal and the flood risk along the Missouri River in Nebraska is characterized as below normal this spring.
