High Spring Flooding Probability James River Valley
LaMoure, To S.D. Border
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) - The National Weather Service says heavy,
wet snow has caused a high probability of spring flooding in parts
of western and central North Dakota.
Allen Schlag, a hydrologist at the National Weather Service in
Bismarck, says some flooding is expected along the Knife River in
west-central North Dakota and in the Jamestown River Basin, from
LaMoure to the South Dakota border.
Schlag says there is a near 90 percent chance that Apple Creek,
between Bismarck and Menoken, will reach major flood stage of 17
feet.
Flooding was a big problem in the region last spring, with
National Guard troops using explosives to break up ice jams on the
Missouri River.
