Flooding Concerns Likely in Northern-Central US, Mississippi River Due due to Rapid Thaw Events

Weather agencies were monitoring the potential flooding concerns in North-Central US due to rapid thaw events, as wintry weather conditions could unload rain and snow this week.

As the spring season sets in, parts of the United States recorded warm-like temperatures, from the Northeast, Eastern, and Central US this week.

While the warm-like temperatures could offer more outdoor activities and a break from severe winter storms, concerns of flooding due to rapid thaw events emerge.

This week, the National Weather Service (NWS) monitored the potential severe weather conditions in parts of the United States.

The NWS added that parts of the Southwest could likely experience potential gusty winds.

Meanwhile, motorists and homeowners in the central states could expect potential severe thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes.

Weather forecasts were monitoring the potential flooding in parts of the Mississippi River.

Summer-like temperatures contributed to making the snow melt, according to the latest report from AccuWeather.

Last year, weather reports said that the Mississippi River suffered from prolonged drought conditions.

AccuWeather's forecast added that potential flooding could emerge in the Red River to the North, including the St. Louis River in Scanlon Minnesota, and the Minnesota River.

Furthermore, the forecast added that stormy weather conditions emerging this week could worsen the flooding concerns in the affected areas.

Motorists and homeowners near flood-prone areas should keep updated with the weather conditions this week, especially for the potential flood.

While the spring season is felt in the U.S., the latest weather outlook revealed that chances of snow and rain could be possible this week.

Furthermore, the weather reports explained that the stormy weather conditions could result in travel disruptions and flooding risks in the Midwest.

Rain and potential thunderstorms could unload in Minneapolis, Des Moines, and Kansas City.

Snow could likely be in Great Falls, Winnipeg, Billings, Bismarck, and Thunder Bay.

A warm and windy outlook is forecast in St. Louis and Chicago.

In California, The Guardian reported that the snowpack in the region could result in flooding.

Recently, the snow and rain helped ease the prolonged drought conditions.

However, forecasts showed that the rapid spring snowmelt could cause flooding.

Meanwhile, AccuWeather's outlook showed that a storm is expected to unload rain and thunderstorms on Thursday.

Based on the forecast, rain with potential thunderstorms could unload in St. Louis, Chicago, and Dallas.

Rainy conditions could also unfold in San Antonio, Minneapolis and Toronto.

In addition, warm and humid conditions are forecast in Columbus and Charlotte.
