DAKOTA...

  THIS IS A EXTENSION TO THE CURRENT WARNINGS FOR...

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN NORTH 
DAKOTA...

  THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP STATEMENT TO THE CURRENT WARNINGS FOR...

.FLOODING IS STILL AN ISSUE ON MANY RIVERS ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA
WITH MAJOR FLOODING AT HARWOOD AND THE WEST FARGO DIVERSION AS WELL
AS THE WILD RICE AT ABERCROMBIE. MOST RIVERS ARE RECEDING SLOWLY AS
COLD WEATHER HAS GREATELY DIMINISHED OR STOPPED THE RUNOFF INTO THE
RIVER SYSTEMS. SOME EXCEPTIONS ARE THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT VALLEY CITY
AND LISBON DUE TO RELEASES FROM BALDHILL DAM. AT KINDRED THE SHEYENNE
RIVER IS NEAR ITS PEAK AND WILL BEGIN A SLOW FALL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

BACKWATER AT RIVER LOCATIONS CLOSER TO THE MAIN STEM RED WILL BE
AN ISSUE THE NEXT FEW DAYS DUE TO THE VERY HIGH LEVELS ON THE RED.
ICE IS ALSO AN ISSUE ON MANY AREA RIVERS...ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER AWAY
FROM THE MAIN STEM RED RIVER.

THIS FORECAST IS FOR A 7 DAY PERIOD...THE HIGHEST STAGE INDICATED 
MAY NOT REFLECT THE CREST FOR THIS FLOOD EVENT. FORECASTS ARE 
UPDATED DAILY AND STAGE VALUES WILL CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER AND 
RIVER INFORMATION IS USED. THIS FORECAST INCLUDES ANY 
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

DAKOTA...

  THIS IS A FOLLOW-UP STATEMENT TO THE CURRENT WARNINGS FOR...
   THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT LISBON AFFECTING RANSOM COUNTY
   THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT VALLEY CITY AFFECTING BARNES COUNTY

.FLOODING IS STILL AN ISSUE ON MANY RIVERS ACROSS EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA
WITH MAJOR FLOODING AT HARWOOD AND THE WEST FARGO DIVERSION AS WELL
AS THE WILD RICE AT ABERCROMBIE. MOST RIVERS ARE RECEDING SLOWLY AS
COLD WEATHER HAS GREATELY DIMINISHED OR STOPPED THE RUNOFF INTO THE
RIVER SYSTEMS. SOME EXCEPTIONS ARE THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT VALLEY CITY
AND LISBON DUE TO RELEASES FROM BALDHILL DAM. AT KINDRED THE SHEYENNE
RIVER IS NEAR ITS PEAK AND WILL BEGIN A SLOW FALL OVER THE NEXT FEW
DAYS.

BACKWATER AT RIVER LOCATIONS CLOSER TO THE MAIN STEM RED WILL BE
AN ISSUE THE NEXT FEW DAYS DUE TO THE VERY HIGH LEVELS ON THE RED.
ICE IS ALSO AN ISSUE ON MANY AREA RIVERS...ESPECIALLY THE FARTHER
AWAY FROM THE MAIN STEM RED RIVER.

THIS FORECAST IS FOR A 7 DAY PERIOD...THE HIGHEST STAGE INDICATED 
MAY NOT REFLECT THE CREST FOR THIS FLOOD EVENT. FORECASTS ARE 
UPDATED DAILY AND STAGE VALUES WILL CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER AND 
RIVER INFORMATION IS USED. THIS FORECAST INCLUDES ANY 
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

SAFETY MESSAGES...TURN AROUND, DONT DROWN... 
 
 - DONT TRAVEL THROUGH FLOODED AREAS

 - CONTACT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REPORT FLOODING.

   THE PARK RIVER AT GRAFTON AFFECTING WALSH COUNTY

.THE NORTH DAKOTA TRIBUTARIES OF THE RED RIVER CONTINUE TO RISE DUE TO 
SNOWMELT RUNOFF MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE RIVER SYSTEM OVER THE LAST 24 
HOURS. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT OR ABOVE 
FREEZING IN MOST PLACES...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUOUS MELTING 24 
HOURS A DAY AND ACCELERATE THE CURRENT RUNOFF. 

RECORD FLOODING IS FORECAST ALONG THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT VALLEY CITY...
LISBON AND HARWOOD...AND ALONG THE MAPLE RIVER AT MAPLETON. THE UPPER 
HALF OF THE SHEYENNE BASIN HAS EXPERIENCED LITTLE MELTING AND HAS 
EXTREMELY HIGH SNOW WATER EQUIVALENTS IN THE SNOWPACK...WHICH DATES 
BACK TO THE EARLY NOVEMBER SNOW STORM. ONCE THE SNOWMELT RUNOFF IS 
ABLE TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE SYSTEM THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THE RIVER 
LEVELS WILL RISE QUICKLY.

THE FORECAST RIVER LEVELS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PRECIPITATION DUE TO 
THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THE SECOND CREST PROJECTIONS AT THIS TIME INCLUDE SNOWMELT ONLY. 
ANY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION THAT DOES OCCUR WHILE THE RIVERS IN THE 
RED RIVER VALLEY ARE IN FLOOD WILL CAUSE INCREASES IN THE PROJECTED 
CREST FORECASTS.

THIS FORECAST IS FOR A 7 DAY PERIOD...THE HIGHEST STAGE INDICATED 
MAY NOT REFLECT THE CREST FOR THIS FLOOD EVENT. FORECASTS ARE 
UPDATED DAILY AND STAGE VALUES WILL CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER AND 
RIVER INFORMATION IS USED. THIS FORECAST INCLUDES ANY 
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

SAFETY MESSAGES...TURN AROUND, DONT DROWN... 
 
 - DONT TRAVEL THROUGH FLOODED AREAS

 - CONTACT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REPORT FLOODING.

 - PERSONS LIVING IN THE RED RIVER BASIN SHOULD MONITOR RIVER 
   LEVELS WHILE THE RIVER IS IN...OR NEAR...FLOOD.

  THIS IS A EXTENSION TO THE CURRENT WARNINGS FOR...
   THE FOREST RIVER AT MINTO AFFECTING WALSH COUNTY
   THE PARK RIVER AT GRAFTON AFFECTING WALSH COUNTY
   THE PEMBINA RIVER AT NECHE AFFECTING PEMBINA COUNTY

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN NORTH

   THE GOOSE RIVER AT HILLSBORO AFFECTING TRAILL COUNTY
   THE PEMBINA RIVER AT WALHALLA AFFECTING PEMBINA AND CAVALIER

.THE NORTH DAKOTA TRIBUTARIES OF THE RED RIVER CONTINUE TO RISE DUE TO 
SNOWMELT RUNOFF MAKING ITS WAY INTO THE RIVER SYSTEM OVER THE LAST 24 
HOURS. EXPECT OVERNIGHT LOWS THROUGH THE WEEKEND AT OR ABOVE 
FREEZING IN MOST PLACES...WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUOUS MELTING 24 
HOURS A DAY AND ACCELERATE THE CURRENT RUNOFF. 

RECORD FLOODING IS FORECAST ALONG THE SHEYENNE RIVER AT VALLEY CITY...
LISBON AND HARWOOD...AND ALONG THE MAPLE RIVER AT MAPLETON. THE UPPER 
HALF OF THE SHEYENNE BASIN HAS EXPERIENCED LITTLE MELTING AND HAS 
EXTREMELY HIGH SNOW WATER EQUIVALENTS IN THE SNOWPACK...WHICH DATES 
BACK TO THE EARLY NOVEMBER SNOW STORM. ONCE THE SNOWMELT RUNOFF IS 
ABLE TO MAKE ITS WAY INTO THE SYSTEM THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS...THE RIVER 
LEVELS WILL RISE QUICKLY.

THE FORECAST RIVER LEVELS DO NOT INCLUDE ANY PRECIPITATION DUE TO 
THE LACK OF SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION IN THE FORECAST THE NEXT 24 HOURS.
THE SECOND CREST PROJECTIONS AT THIS TIME INCLUDE SNOWMELT ONLY. 
ANY SIGNIFICANT PRECIPITATION THAT DOES OCCUR WHILE THE RIVERS IN THE 
RED RIVER VALLEY ARE IN FLOOD WILL CAUSE INCREASES IN THE PROJECTED 
CREST FORECASTS.

THIS FORECAST IS FOR A 7 DAY PERIOD...THE HIGHEST STAGE INDICATED 
MAY NOT REFLECT THE CREST FOR THIS FLOOD EVENT. FORECASTS ARE 
UPDATED DAILY AND STAGE VALUES WILL CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER AND 
RIVER INFORMATION IS USED. THIS FORECAST INCLUDES ANY 
PRECIPITATION THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

SAFETY MESSAGES...TURN AROUND, DONT DROWN... 
 
 - DONT TRAVEL THROUGH FLOODED AREAS

 - CONTACT LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT TO REPORT FLOODING.

 - PERSONS LIVING IN THE RED RIVER BASIN SHOULD MONITOR RIVER 
   LEVELS WHILE THE RIVER IS IN...OR NEAR...FLOOD.

FOR MORE INFORMATION...GO TO THE AHPS/RIVER SECTION 
ON OUR WEB PAGE AT:      WWW.WEATHER.GOV/GRANDFORKS

THE FOLLOWING SEGMENTS CONTAIN RIVER INFORMATION FOR 
THE SELECTED LOCATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS MESSAGE.

QUICKLY RAISE LOCAL RIVER LEVELS WITH LITTLE OR NO NOTICE.

SEVERAL DAYS.

BIT NOW THAT LOCAL RUNOFF HAS DIMINISHED...THEY WILL REMAIN IN
RECORD TERRITORY. DOWNSTREAM...BREAKOUT FLOWS IN THE KINDRED AREA 
WILL CONTINUE...AND MAY INCREASE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AS THE INITIAL 
CREST OF WATER FROM SNOW MELT THAT WAS AT LISBON MAKES ITS WAY
DOWNSTREAM. 

FLOODING WILL ALSO CONTINUE ON OTHER TRIBUTARIES TO THE RED RIVER 
OVER EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA. HOWEVER...CRESTS HAVE OCCURRED AT MANY 
LOCATIONS AND WATER LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO FALL. THE EXCEPTIONS

RUNOFF IN SOUTHERN MANITOBA HAS ENTERED THE RIVER SYSTEM. AN EXPECTED 
CREST AT WINDY GATES GREATER THAN 2006 WILL MOVE INTO THE WALHALLA AREA
THIS WEEKEND AND CREST ON TUESDAY. THIS INCREASED FLOW WILL CAUSE 
ADDITIONAL BREAKOUTS NEAR NECHE RATHER THAN A RISE IN THE RIVER LEVEL.
