The National Weather Service says in its
latest outlook that there is an almost equal chance of a major Red
River flood in the Fargo area this spring.


      The outlook uses the most recent snowpack conditions.


      The weather service predicts an 80 percent chance of moderate
flooding and a better than 49 percent chance of major flooding in
the Fargo-Moorhead area. The outlook says there is a lesser chance of major
flooding in the northern Red River Valley.
      

Last spring, Fargo residents fought off two crests of the Red
River - the first at a record 40.82 feet and the second at 34 feet.
