FARGO, N.D. — There’s a good chance the swollen Red River separating North Dakota and Minnesota will return to a dangerously high level by late April, forecasters said Friday.
Mark Frazier of the National Weather Service said there was a 75 percent chance that the river will reach or surpass 41 feet, slightly higher than last week’s record level that caused flooding in both states. There’s a 25 percent chance it will reach 42.8 feet or higher, he said.
Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., were largely spared serious damage from last week’s flooding, thanks to a volunteer effort that put down millions of sandbags. But the Weather Service had warned all along of a new crest in April from snowmelt and likely spring rains.
