Most of California’s Yosemite Valley will close to visitors this week, and Iowa’s third-largest city was bracing for possible major flooding in part because of warmer weather and snowmelt, officials said.

Davenport, Iowa, a city of around 100,000 on the Mississippi River,
installed barriers. Some roads along the riverfront were closed because of
high water Tuesday.

“We have floods every year — it’s whether it’s going to be a major flood,” Mayor Mike Matson said Tuesday.

Davenport experienced flooding from a record flood level in 2019, when the river gauge at Rock Island Lock and Dam recorded a flood crest of 22.70
feet, according to the National Weather Service. The earlier record was
set in 1993.

On Tuesday, the city’s Public Works Department announced a detour to River Drive and urged residents to be careful as river levels rise.

More than 1.4 million people were under flood warnings Tuesday, according
to the weather service, with warnings along stretches of the Mississippi
River from North Dakota to parts of Missouri.

The “2023 Spring snowmelt flood” will work its way down the river over the
next couple of weeks, the weather service for the Quad Cities region of
Iowa and Illinois said in a forecast discussion. Flooding was occurring
from Dubuque, Iowa, to Illinois City, Illinois, it said.

In California, where a series of “atmospheric rivers” drenched the state
and covered higher elevations in feet of snow, Yosemite National Park
announced plans Tuesday to close to visitors.

Most of the Yosemite Valley will be closed Friday and at least until May 3 because forecast flooding of the Merced River, the national park of the
same name said. The weather service said higher temperatures with higher
rates of snowmelt were the cause.
