Slim chance of spring floods in Iowa this spring
National Weather Service expert says overall flood risk is low if March stays normal but above normal precipitation could trigger floods. Snow cover differs from 1993, with well below normal seasonal totals and 12 to 24 inches frozen soil in the north. Ice jams on small streams have already caused minor flooding north of Waterloo and along the Iowa River at Marshalltown.
