SOURIS BELOW LAKE DARLING. AS FLOW FROM THE DES LACS RIVER IS 
FORECAST TO DECREASE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...IT SHOULD 
BE EXPECTED THAT RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING WILL BE INCREASED. 
THESE INCREASED RELEASES HAVE RESULTED IN NEW FORECASTS FOR THE 
REGION...WITH MOST INCREASING. THE MORE NOTICEABLE INCREASES 
ARE IN THE SOURIS RIVER NEAR FOXHOLM TO MINOT REACH WITH 
LESSER...BUT NOTABLE...INCREASES DOWNSTREAM OF THE MINOT AREA.

BY MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. FLOWS FROM RAFFERTY AND ALAMEDA WILL ALSO 
NEED TO PASS BY SHERWOOD IN THE COMING WEEKS...HOWEVER...THESE FLOWS 
SHOULD BE LOWER THAN THOSE SEEN FROM BOUNDARY DAM. ALL THIS WATER WILL 
WILL BE INFLOW INTO LAKE DARLING...AND THE RESULTING RELEASE SCHEDULE 
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FLOODING ON THE SOURIS RIVER DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE 
DARLING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO COME.

OTHER SURFACE WATERS SUCH AS THE WINTERING RIVER AND WILLOW CREEK IN 
THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN ARE NOT AFFECTED BY RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING 
BUT ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FOR AT LEAST 
THE NEXT WEEK.

IS OCCURRING AND MINOR FLOODING IS FORECAST. FOR THE SOURIS RIVER AT 
SAWYER AND AT VELVA...AND THE WINTERING RIVER NEAR KARLSRUHE...MINOR 
FLOODING IS OCCURRING AND IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE. 

.LOCAL RUNOFF ACROSS THE DES LACS AND SOURIS RIVER BASINS HAS DECREASED 
SIGNIFICANTLY AS LOCAL CONTRIBUTIONS HAVE GENERALLY MADE IT INTO THESSE 
WATER SYSTEMS. HOWEVER...WATER LEVELS NEAR SHERWOOD ARE INCREASING AS 
WATER PASSED BY BOUNDARY DAM IS BEGINNING TO APPEAR. PEAKS FLOWS FROM 
BOUNDARY DAM ARE FORECAST TO REACH THE SOURIS RIVER NEAR SHERWOOD 
BY MID TO LATE NEXT WEEK. FLOWS FROM RAFFERTY AND ALAMEDA WILL ALSO 
NEED TO PASS BY SHERWOOD IN THE COMING WEEKS...HOWEVER...THESE FLOWS 
SHOULD BE LOWER THAN THOSE SEEN FROM BOUNDARY DAM. ALL THIS WATER WILL 
WILL BE INFLOW INTO LAKE DARLING...AND THE RESULTING RELEASE SCHEDULE 
WILL LIKELY CONTINUE FLOODING ON THE SOURIS RIVER DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE 
DARLING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS TO COME.

OTHER SURFACE WATERS SUCH AS THE WINTERING RIVER AND WILLOW CREEK IN 
THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN ARE NOT AFFECTED BY RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING 
BUT ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO BE WELL ABOVE FLOOD STAGE FOR AT LEAST 
THE NEXT WEEK.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

SAFETY MESSAGE...DO NOT DRIVE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER TOPS THE 
ROADWAY. TURN AROUND...DON'T DROWN. AVOID DRIVING ON FLOODED ROADS.
