"From Arctic Blast to Warm Relief: US Braces for Major Temperature Shift"

A major thaw is expected to bring warmer temperatures to most of the US following an Arctic blast that left over 80 dead. However, heavy rain and flooding pose new threats, with the Midwest and Northeast facing wintry concerns. Ice-related problems are anticipated in the southern Plains and Mississippi Valley as temperatures rise, and areas from Texas to Illinois remain under the threat of icy rain. The National Weather Service issued warnings for freezing rain and icy conditions in various states, urging residents to take precautions. Additionally, a surge of moisture is expected to trigger rain, ice, and snow from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast, potentially causing further travel disruptions and flooding.

Spring River Flooding Concerns Persist Amidst Potential Storm Threats.

The likelihood of major flooding this spring on some rivers in the US continues to be much higher than normal spring probabilities due to snowfall and slow thaw. Fargo, N.D., Aitkin, Hastings, Stillwater, Red Wing are just some places where major flooding stage is expected. The probabilities are 3 to 8 times higher than an average spring. The lower-than-average frost depth is beneficial because it means the ground can start absorbing snow melt sooner with thawing. However, how severe the flooding becomes will depend on weather conditions the next few weeks, including how fast the temperature warms up and how much precipitation is received. Late next week could bring a large storm system with heavy precipitation.
