It’s spring in Minnesota, which means melting snow and April showers. Multiple Minnesota rivers are forecast to crest at moderate or major flood stages in the coming days. As a result, multiple sections of Minnesota highways are closed and safety measures are being put into place. You can check out the latest on spring flooding across the state at mprnews.org.
