Rain storms expected later this week could lead to another crest along the Missouri River and its tributaries just as residents are cleaning up from this spring’s flooding. National Weather Service hydrologist Kevin Low said that more than an inch of rain is expected to fall in Nebraska and Iowa later this week.

Low says the storms between Wednesday and Friday could create a 1-foot rise in the level of the Missouri River around Omaha and cities downstream starting next weekend.

But it’s not yet clear how much additional flooding that rise could create.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Lottery officials say the Powerball jackpot has ballooned to $750 million after no ticket matched all six numbers in the most recent drawing. The numbers drawn Saturday night are 24, 25, 52, 60 and 66, with a Powerball of 5.

The next drawing for what would be the fourth-largest jackpot in U.S. history is Wednesday. The odds of winning are roughly 1 in 292.2 million. No one has won the Powerball jackpot since the day after Christmas. Twenty-four drawings since then have failed to produce a winner.

The buyers of three tickets shared the country’s largest jackpot. It was a nearly $1.59 billion Powerball prize drawn on Jan. 13, 2016. A South Carolina purchaser won a $1.54 billion Mega Millions jackpot. That was the nation’s second-largest lottery prize ever.

(Radio Iowa) — Key state officials say Iowans who aren’t in a flood zone today should prepare for flooding. State Climatologist Justin Glisansays 2018 was the second-wettest year on ecord and the ground is saturated — creating concerns as the snow in the Dakotas and Minnesota melts and drains south. “If we get into a regime with active precipitation patterns, we could be in a very bad position,” Glisan says.

Glisan says forecast models indicate there will be “above average precipitation” in the weeks ahead. The 147 years of weather records for Iowa show the atmosphere and surface temperatures are warming and that means it’s more likely to rain, according to Glisan. “What we’re seeing over the past 30 years is that the intensity of precipitation events is increasing and we’re also seeing them lock into specific parts of the Midwest and even over Iowa,” Glisan says. “…You’re getting rainfall rates in which infrastructure can’t keep up.”

Glisan cites last summer’s flash flooding in central Iowa caused when as much as eight inches of rain fell in three hours. Joyce Flinn, director of Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management, says community leaders should consider how to protect key infrastructure, like drinking water plants, from flooding. “We’re focused on the Missouri River right now, but there are a lot of the interior rivers that are high as well and there’s the potential for flooding on the Mississippi, so we are reaching out to those folks,” Flinn says. “Mnay of them are taking those proactive measures because when you lose a water system, that’s hard to recover from quickly.”

Flood waters have swamped three southwest Iowa communities in the past week. Flinn and Glisan made their comments Friday, during a taping of the “Iowa Press” program.
