National Weather Service Spring Flood Outlook

Key Points

  • Flood risk this season is lower than previous years. 
  • The majority of area rivers have a below normal risk of reaching flood levels of moderate or major flood severity. 
  • The threat for spring flooding will be driven by the amounts, location, and frequency of spring rain or additional snowfall, and to a lesser extent the pace of the snowmelt.
