WASHINGTON (AP) - Government forecasters say spring flooding is already beginning and the worst is yet to come.

The highest flood risks are concentrated in the Upper Midwest - particularly parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota and Montana. In addition, flowing is likely in the region around New York City including southern New England and the Catskill mountains.

National Weather Service forecasters said metropolitan areas that face a greater than 95 percent chance of major flooding include Fargo and Grand Forks, N.D.; St. Paul, Minn.; Davenport, Iowa; Rock Island, Ill. and Sioux Falls and Huron, S.D.
