Snowpack continues to feed Missouri River flood

Nearly three-quarters of the mountain snowpack contributing to high water levels along the Missouri River system has melted, but significant flooding remains a concern in seven states from Montana to Missouri, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the National Weather Service. The Corps of Engineers is sending record amounts of water into the Missouri from reservoirs filled with extraordinary amounts of melting snow and spring rain. That has been creating flooding conditions lasting for weeks across much of the massive river basin, which includes parts of 10 states.
