Flooding could become a problem across the central U.S. too. Above average snowfall found across the upper Mississippi Valley and the Red River of the North will increase the threat of spring flooding as it melts.
This spring melt and a projected normal spring storm season could also bring minor flooding downriver into the lower Mississippi Valley, South and Southeast. In total, 146 million people could be threatened by flooding. "Approximately 44% of the U.S. is at risk for flooding this spring,” said Ed Clark, director of U.S. government’s National Water Center.
