The spring season offers weather conditions featuring heavy rains, severe weather and rapid snowmelt that each present unique flooding risks.
The Spring Thaw
As spring approaches and temperatures begin to increase, areas of the country that experienced heavy snowfall should be concerned with the rapid snowmelt. Large amounts of runoff in a short period of time present the opportunity for flooding. The ground is still too cold to soak up that excess water, and spring showers on top of it can only add to the problem. The northeastern states are typically the most at risk for this type of flooding, as they usually see the largest amounts of snowfall. Keep in mind that runoff can over-fill rivers that can then flood further downstream.
Heavy Spring Rain Showers
Spring, aka the rainy season for most of the country, brings storms that can produce several inches of precipitation in just hours. Other storms can stall out over a particular area for days. Heavy rains can lead to severe flooding and even flash floods if too much precipitation is dropped in a short period of time. Heavy rains can easily over-saturate the ground, overfill storm drains and cause rivers to spill over their banks or levees. Areas of the country with drought-like conditions or those scarred from fires, are highly susceptible to flash flooding from heavy spring rains.
While some areas of the country may be more susceptible to spring flooding than others, every area of the country has the capability of becoming flooded at any time. Therefore, it's important that we are always prepared for what mother nature may bring our way. Just a few inches of water can do some major damage. Reduce your risk by preparing now!
