SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (WNAX) – The latest flood outlook from the National Weather Service shows, to no one’s surprise, an increasing chance of major flooding.

Gillispie says there is significant snow pack which continues to increase.

Gillispie says frozen ground is another flood factor.

The weather service is already pointing to a system this week that may bring a rain – snow mix which could trigger some early flooding.
