(Le Mars) — Spring may start this evening, but the weather forecast doesn’t show spring-like conditions. Lance Vanden Boogart is a meteorologist with the National Weather Services of Sioux Falls. He is predicting two days of very wet conditions.
People will recall it was at this time a year ago when we had sustained massive flooding. Vanden Boogart says although there is a possibility for some flooding, he says conditions are different this year from last year.
However, the National Weather Services has issued Flood Warnings for some of the region’s rivers, including the Big Sioux River. Vanden Boogart says other area rivers may not encounter much, if any, flooding.
The weather meteorologist says if any flooding should occur, it should not last very long. He says by the weekend we will have drier conditions which will limit the flooding potential.
The weather forecast for Le Mars is calling for approximately 1 1/2 inches of rain, followed by two inches of snow.
