Surging temperatures, combined with a surplus of snow from over the winter, will cause the spring flood season to ramp up with a vengeance in the coming weeks over the northern Plains and in part of the Upper Midwest, AccuWeather meteorologists say.
As temperatures climb into the 70s and 80s Fahrenheit from the central Plains to the lower Great Lakes and Northeast this week, warmer air will reach the deep snow-covered fields of the northern tier of the central United States and initiate the long-anticipated spring thaw and flooding.
