The National Weather Service in St. Louis has issued it’s spring outlook. It calls for likely minor flooding along the Mississippi, Missouri and Illinois Rivers, with most local streams including the Kaskaskia River having the near normal flood risk this spring.
For the month of March, there is a slightly better than average chance of warmer than normal temperatures with a better than average chance of above normal precipitation across Southwestern Illinois.
Looking ahead to the next three months of March through May, temperatures are expected to be above normal throughout the St. Louis service area, while precipitation chances will be very similar to March with better chances for above normal precipitation across Illinois.
