Forecast: James River flooding threat low; Overland flooding is real possibility

Flood outlooks along the James River and Pipestem Creek remain low although snow pack levels are increasing, according to Allen Schlag, hydrologist with the National Weather Service in Bismarck. “Generally speaking we’re in good shape,” he said. “There is snow up north but not like 2009 or 2010. The snow out there currently should be fairly easy to control by the dams.”
