Experts say thawing snow in the Northeast should not cause major floods unless rapid warming and heavy rain occur. Rivers may rise to flood stages but remain within manageable levels, with built in buffers from the Army Corps of Engineers and low water in the Ohio River area. Ice floes and jams pose the main risk as conditions thaw and runoff increases.
