Local storm reports filed while the alert was in force, from inside its polygon or its counties.
Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this flash flood warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Bismarck Municip, ND (KBIS), launched 00:00Z, 8.0 hours before the alert went out and 111 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 20, 1:15 AM CDT, 1 hour 46 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND 115 AM CDT THU JUN 20 2013 .UPDATE... ISSUED AT 110 AM CDT THU JUN 20 2013 UPDATE MAINLY FOR POPS OVERNIGHT INTO THURSDAY...INCREASING ACROSS THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY WHERE WIDESPREAD STORMS ARE ONGOING. ISOLD LARGE HAIL AND FLASH FLOOD THREAT EXPECTED TO PERSIST THERE FOR AT LEAST THE NEXT FEW HOURS. ALSO MONITORING STORMS MOVING OUT OF MONTANA...EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE WEST LATE. && .SHORT TERM...(THIS EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY) ISSUED AT 333 PM CDT WED JUN 19 2013 MAIN CONCERNS THIS FORECAST INCLUDE THUNDERSTORMS...THEIR SEVERE POTENTIAL AND POSSIBLE HEAVY RAIN. LATE THIS AFTERNOON AN ELEVATED MIXED LAYER FROM EASTERN MONTANA INTO WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA IS PROVIDING A SIGNIFICANT CAP. TO THE EAST OF THIS A MOISTURE PLUME EXTENDS FROM EASTERN NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH THE NORTH CENTRAL SUPPORTING WEAK CONVECTION BUT WITH LITTLE WIND SHEAR TO SUPPORT CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT. SO WILL BE WAITING FOR THE A STRONGER SHORTWAVE ACROSS WYOMING AND MONTANA TO ENTER THE PICTURE LATER THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL SUPPORT MORE WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS...AND CURRENT THINKING IS A LINE OF STORMS CAPABLE OF SEVERE WINDS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS MONTANA AND ENTER THE NORTHWEST INTO PORTIONS OF THE NORTH CENTRAL LATE EVENING OR AFTER MIDNIGHT. ABOVE NORMAL MOISTURE IS AVAILABLE... WITH PWATS SIGNIFICANTLY ABOVE NORMAL SUGGESTING THAT HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE. THE ONE FACTOR LIMITING FLASH FLOOD PRODUCING RAINS MAY BE THE EXPECTED FAST MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS. ON THURSDAY...THE EXPECTED REMNANTS OF OVERNIGHT CONVECTION WILL BE IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE STORMS EXPECTED TO PICK UP STEAM LATE IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING. .LONG TERM...(THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY) ISSUED AT 333 PM CDT WED JUN 19 2013 THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERNS IN THE LONG TERM PERIOD ARE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL...AND TIMING ISSUES THROUGH SATURDAY. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROUGH REMAINS IN PLACE OVER THE ROCKIES THROUGH SATURDAY...THEN THE MODELS BEGIN TO MOVE THE UPPER LOW NORTHEASTWARD TOWARDS SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN/MANITOBA SATURDAY/SATURDAY NIGHT/SUNDAY. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH GENERAL SOUTHWEST UPPER LEVEL FLOW. THURSDAY...STRONG TO POTENTIALLY SEVERE STORMS FROM AN ORGANIZED STORM CLUSTER MAY PERSIST ACROSS NORTHERN COUNTIES THURSDAY MORNING...AND STORM RE-INTENSIFICATION IS EXPECTED DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING HOURS ALONG A STRONG MOISTURE CONVERGENCE AXIS WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE UPPER 60S AND PWAT VALUES APPROACHING 2 INCHES. BY EARLY THURSDAY EVENING THE NAM AND GFS ARE IN AGREEMENT REGARDING THE POSITION OF THE SURFACE TROUGH...ROUGHLY FROM NEAR BOTTINEAU/MINOT TO BETWEEN BISMARCK AND JAMESTOWN. THE EUROPEAN MODEL IS A BIT SLOWER...DEPICTING THE FRONT FROM NEAR STANLEY TO NEAR BISMARCK. FELT CONFIDENT ENOUGH THAT THE FAR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF THE STATE WOULD BE FREE OF THUNDERSTORMS THURSDAY EVENING...AND KEPT BEST CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE BOTTINEAU/TURTLE MOUNTAINS TO STEELE AND THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY WITH "LIKELY" CHANCES. SEVERE PARAMETERS CONTINUE ALONG AND EAST OF THE FRONT. CAPE VALUES UP TO 2500 WITH 0-6KM BULK SHEAR VALUES UP TO 40-45. BY MIDNIGHT/1AM (06Z FRI)...THE GFS IS FASTEST - DEPICTING THE FRONT OVER THE RED RIVER VALLEY - AND THE NAM/EC KEEP IT IN OR JUST EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY. REGARDLESS...CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION FALL IN CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA WITH THE SURFACE FRONT EXITING THE AREA AND UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT WEAKENING. HOWEVER ANOTHER UPPER LEVEL IMPULSE APPROACHES SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA FROM WYOMING. BULK SHEAR INCREASES WITH MODERATE INCREASES IN CAPE...AND KEPT A SLIGHT CHANCE IN THE WEST. FOR FRIDAY...TODAY'S MODELS DID NOT SET UP A HEAVY RAIN EVENT...INSTEAD SEVERAL UPPER LEVEL IMPULSES MOVE THROUGH THE STATE ON THE SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT...BUT THE MODELS DEVELOP THE SURFACE LOW FARTHER SOUTH IN THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. KEPT GOOD CHANCES OF PRECIPITATION FOR FRIDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHT. SEVERE PARAMETERS STILL IN PLACE. SATURDAY THE MODELS DEVELOP THE SURFACE LOW FARTHER NORTH WITH THE UPPER LEVEL LOW/TROUGH MOVING NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS MONTANA INTO WESTERN NORTH DAKOTA AND INTO SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN. THIS WOULD SET UP A WIDESPREAD MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN EVENT...BUT MODELS ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT FOR PLACEMENT AND TIMING. NEAR SEASONAL TEMPS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE WEEKEND...FOLLOWED BY SOME WARMING EARLY NEXT WEEK. HIGHS 70-80 THROUGH THE WEEKEND...AND LOW TO MID 80S EARLY NEXT WEEK. && .AVIATION...(FOR THE 06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z THURSDAY NIGHT) ISSUED AT 110 AM CDT THU JUN 20 2013 REFINED TIMING OF CONVECTION OVERNIGHT AND THURSDAY FOR THE 06Z ISSUANCE. MAINLY VFR CIGS/VSBYS EXPECTED...EXCEPT FOR PERIODS OF MVFR CIGS/VSBYS IN THUNDERSTORMS. AFTERNOON/EVENING STORMS WILL BE MOST WIDESPREAD AT KMOT/KBIS/KJMS. && .HYDROLOGY... ISSUED AT 333 PM CDT WED JUN 19 2013 THE THREAT FOR HEAVY RAIN EXISTS WITH THE EXPECTED THUNDERSTORMS LATE TONIGHT...THURSDAY...THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE PRECIPITABLE WATER (PWAT) IS MUCH ABOVE NORMAL FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. IF THUNDERSTORMS FORM AS EXPECTED...THE BEST CHANCE FOR AN INCH OR MORE OF RAINFALL WILL BE FROM FAR NORTHWEST...NORTH CENTRAL THROUGH THE NORTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY. ONE TO TWO INCHES OF RAIN IN THIS TWO DAY PERIOD IS POSSIBLE WITH MULTIPLE LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS. THE ONE FACTOR THAT MAY LIMIT THE FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL WILL BE SIGNIFICANT MOVEMENT OF THE STORMS. ALSO THE SURFACE MOISTURE...WHILE BEING HIGH...HAS HAD SOME TIME TO DRY OUT RECENTLY. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO 2 INCHES SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE ABSORBED...ALTHOUGH MORE THAN TWO INCHES WOULD LIKELY CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
