After almost three consecutive weeks of below-zero temperatures, North Dakota is now seeing "unseasonably warm weather," according to meteorologists.

Mid-Missouri typically records just under 12" of rain every spring, but the upcoming spring is trending slightly wetter than normal. As the population grow in urban areas, local flash flooding continues to be a big concern.
