LISBON AND HARWOOD. THE SHEYENNE RIVER AND DEVILS LAKE BASINS HAVE
RECEIVED ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH OF RAIN LAST NIGHT. THIS RAIN
WATER WILL COUPLE WITH THE REMAINDER OF THE SNOWMELT RUNOFF TO CAUSE
ADDITIONAL RISES IN MANY OF THE NORTH DAKOTA TRIBUTARIES OVER THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS.

MAY NOT REFLECT THE CREST FOR THIS FLOOD EVENT. FORECASTS ARE
UPDATED DAILY AND STAGE VALUES WILL CHANGE AS NEW WEATHER AND

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 7, 10:48 AM CDT, 2 hours 8 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GRAND FORKS ND 1048 AM CDT TUE APR 7 2009 .DISCUSSION... VERY QUIET DAY TODAY...WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES OVER THE CWA. KEY FEATURE TO WATCH IS SOME MID AND UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE OVER EASTERN MONTANA AND SOUTH CENTRAL SASKATCHEWAN...WHICH WILL ADVECT INTO OUR AREA THIS EVENING AND MAY CAUSE THE WESTERN HALF OF THE FA TO SEE SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES. AS FOR TODAYS MAX TEMPS...CURRENT TRENDS SHOWING SOUTHEASTERN ND AND THE DVL LAKE BASIN SLIGHTLY COOLER THAN THE CURRENT CURVE...WHILE NW ND AND THE MINNESOTA SIDE OF THE FA ARE A BIT WARMER DUE TO HIGHER ALBEDOES...ESPECIALLY IN FORESTED AREAS. DID KNOCK SKY DOWN A BIT DRG THE REST OF THE MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS. OTHER THAN SKY AND MINOR TWEAKS TO TEMP CURVE...REST OF FCST LOOKS IN GOOD SHAPE. && .AVIATION... VFR CONDS WITH SOME MID LEVEL CLOUDS MOVING INTO WESTERN FA LATER THIS EVENING. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 334 AM CDT TUE APR 7 2009/ DISCUSSION... THE MAIN FORECAST CHALLENGE WILL BE TEMPS AND CLOUD TRENDS THROUGHOUT. MODELS ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT WITH OVERALL LARGE SCALE FEATURES...AND CONTINUE TO PREFER THE ECMWF OVERALL WITH THE SPLIT FLOW AND QUIET WEATHER. FOR TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY...TEMPS WILL CONTINUE TO SLOWLY WARM UP WITH SIMILAR THERMAL FIELDS EACH DAY. THE DEGREE OF WARMING WILL BE LIMITED BY SNOW COVER FOR ALL OF THE REGION...AND AREAS THAT HAVE DEEPER SNOW IN THE DEVILS LAKE BASIN AND FAR SOUTH MAY BE COLDER THAN MOST AREAS. THERE WILL BE A SHORTWAVE MOVING THROUGH THE AREA TONIGHT INTO WED...BUT NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE THAN INCREASING CLOUDS WITH PERHAPS A FLURRY OR TWO...BUT NOT WORTH MENTIONING AT THIS TIME. FOR FRI-MON...THE WARMING TREND WILL CONTINUE AND THE SNOW SHOULD BE MOSTLY GONE BY THIS WEEKEND. THERE MAY BE A CHANCE FOR SOME LIGHT RAIN SUNDAY...BUT THIS APPEARS MINIMAL WITH THE SPLIT FLOW KEEPING US MAINLY DRY. AVIATION... VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED. HYDROLOGY... RIVER FLOODING CONTINUES ACROSS THE RED RIVER BASIN. MODERATE TO MAJOR FLOODING IS ONGOING ALONG THE MAIN STEM RED WITH MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING ALONG THE SHEYENNE AND WILD RICE RIVERS IN SE ND AND MINOR FLOODING IN THE BUFFALO RIVER BASINS OF MN. BACKWATER AND OVERLAND FLOODING CONTINUE AS THE FIRST CREST OF THE RED HAS REACHED THE DRAYTON AREA. RIVER ICE CONTINUES TO RESTRICT AND AGGRAVATE OVERLAND FLOODING FROM OSLO NORTHWARD...WHERE THE RIVER IS BETWEEN 7 AND 12 MILES WIDE AT SOME POINTS. EXPECTED TEMPERATURES FOR THE WEEK WILL ALLOW THE SNOW PACK TO RIPEN AND BEGIN THE RUNOFF PROCESS. RUNOFF IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE RIVER SYSTEM AND CAUSE SOME RIVERS TO RISE SIGNIFICANTLY BY THE WEEKEND. PLEASE REFER TO FLOOD WARNINGS AND STATEMENTS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION AND LOCATIONS. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...NONE. MN...NONE. && SPEICHER
