Repeated bouts of rain and/or snow are urgently needed over the next few months to replenish both surface soil and groundwater supplies before summer's stifling heat sets in.

In their latest spring flood outlook, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Grand Forks, N.D. said there is a "high risk (greater than 50% chance) for major flooding on the Red River at Fargo, N.D., and for moderate flooding at Grand Forks, N.D."
