Missouri River Ice Flows Amid Warming Spring Weather
The Missouri River remains filled with floating ice though warmer conditions improve roads and melt snow. Ice runs from bank to bank in the main channel, with drift among floes and reports of wildlife activity in sloughs. Snowfalls in the Dakotas and Minnesota, plus severe weather in Arkansas and Oklahoma, threaten high river levels next week as thaw continues. The search for a boat and decoys found near an island adds a note of potential tragedy if unclaimed. Ice on the Platte feeds the Missouri, and rapid river fall may give way to another rise with sun.
