OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Rain storms expected later this week could lead to another
crest along the Missouri River and its tributaries just as residents are
cleaning up from this spring’s flooding.
National Weather Service hydrologist Kevin Low said that more than an inch of
rain is expected to fall in Nebraska and Iowa later this week.
Low says the storms between Wednesday and Friday could create a 1-foot rise in
the level of the Missouri River around Omaha and cities downstream starting next
weekend.
But it’s not yet clear how much additional flooding that rise could create.
