Forecasters say this wet end to winter could mean more spring flooding in the Chippewa Valley.
The National Weather Service says there’s a 55 percent chance of minor flooding along the Chippewa and Eau Claire rivers, and a 50 percent chance of moderate flooding. The models suggest just a 15 percent chance of major flooding on either river. Bill Borghoff with the Weather Service says as the snow melts over the next few weeks, they’ll get a better sense of just how high the rivers may rise.
