408 PM CDT THU APR 4 2013

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN NORTH 
DAKOTA... 
  SOURIS RIVER AT MINOT 4 NORTHWEST AFFECTING WARD COUNTY 
FOR THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN INCLUDING MINOT 4 NORTHWEST...MINOR 
FLOODING IS FORECAST TO BEGIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. 

.FOR THE SOURIS RIVER UPSTREAM OF MINOT...AT THE RIVER GAGE NAMED 
MINOT 4 NORTHWEST...NEAR THE BOY SCOUT CAMP...A STEADY RISE IN WATER 
LEVEL IS UNDERWAY. AT 3 PM THURSDAY THE OBSERVED STAGE OF THE SOURIS 
AT MINOT 4 NORTHWEST WAS 12.0 FEET. THIS RISE IS IN RESPONSE TO 
INCREASED RELEASES OUT OF LAKE DARLING DAM. RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING 
ARE AT 2300 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND AND ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN AT THAT 
LEVEL THROUGH THE WEEKEND. THE INCREASED RELEASE FROM LAKE DARLING IS 
IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED FLOW OUT OF THE RAFFERTY AND ALAMEDA 
RESERVOIRS IN CANADA. 

DURING NORMAL OPEN WATER SEASON ON THE SOURIS RIVER THIS AMOUNT OF 
WATER WOULD NOT BE ENOUGH TO CREATE FLOODING IN THIS AREA. HOWEVER... 
ICE ON THE RIVER IS EXPECTED TO CAUSE HIGHER WATER LEVELS THAN 
WOULD BE REALIZED DURING NORMAL...OPEN WATER SEASON. THIS RISE 
IN THE RIVER LEVEL POSES AN INCREASED RISK OF ICE RELATED FLOODING. THE 
ICE AFFECTED FLOW COULD CAUSE THE RIVER TO REACH FLOOD STAGE ON FRIDAY. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... 

THE ICE ON THE SOURIS RIVER IS THINNING AND BECOMING UNSTABLE. STAY OFF 
THE ICE.

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN NORTH 
DAKOTA...
  SOURIS RIVER NEAR FOXHOLM AFFECTING WARD COUNTY 
  SOURIS RIVER ABOVE MINOT 4NW AFFECTING WARD COUNTY 
  SOURIS RIVER AT LOGAN AFFECTING WARD COUNTY 
  SOURIS RIVER AT SAWYER AFFECTING WARD COUNTY 
  SOURIS RIVER AT VELVA AFFECTING MCHENRY COUNTY 

FOR THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN INCLUDING FOXHOLM...
MODERATE FLOODING IS OCCURRING AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE.

FOR THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN INCLUDING MINOT 4NW...LOGAN...SAWYER...
AND VELVA...MINOR FLOODING IS FORECAST.

.NOTE THAT THE CITY OF FOXHOLM IS NOT IN ANY FLOOD DANGER. FOXHOLM 
IS ON THE DES LACS RIVER...NOT THE SOURIS RIVER. 

THE RIVER RISES ARE DUE TO INCREASED RELEASES OUT OF LAKE DARLING DAM. 
THE UPDATED RELEASE SCHEDULE FROM THE ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS REFLECTS 
A CURRENT DISCHARGE OF 2800 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND FROM LAKE DARLING. 
THE INCREASED RELEASE FROM LAKE DARLING IS IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED 
FLOW OUT OF THE RAFFERTY AND ALAMEDA RESERVOIRS IN CANADA. 

ICE ON THE RIVER IS CAUSING HIGHER WATER LEVELS THAN WOULD BE 
REALIZED DURING THE NORMAL...OPEN WATER SEASON.

THE RIVER GAGE NORTHWEST OF MINOT...NEAR WHAT IS CALLED THE 
BOY SCOUT CAMP...HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE ICE FREE SATURDAY MORNING.
THIS HAS RESULTED IN A TEMPORARY FALL IN THE RIVER LEVEL THERE. THE 
RIVER LEVEL IS NOW FORECAST TO RESUME ITS RISE AT THAT 
LOCATION BASED ON RELEASES FROM LAKE DARLING. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THE ICE ON THE SOURIS RIVER IS THINNING AND UNSTABLE. STAY OFF 
THE ICE.

FLOW OUT OF THE RAFFERTY AND ALAMEDA RESERVOIRS IN CANADA. 

AT THE UPSTREAM LOCATIONS OF FOXHOLM AND MINOT 4 NW...THE ICE IS NOW 
OFF THE RIVER AND WATER LEVELS ARE MORE INDICATIVE OF OPEN WATER. IN

RADAR WITH THIS DECK BUT DRY BELOW SO WILL HOLD OFF ANY MENTION OF
PRECIP FOR NOW.

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 411 AM CDT THU APR 4 2013

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHORT TERM WILL BE LIGHT SNOW ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST THIS MORNING...WITH THE BEGINNING OF A STORM SYSTEM
THURSDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE NORTHWEST THAT CONTINUES INTO THE EXTENDED.

A BAND OF LIGHT SNOW TO MODERATE SNOW CURRENTLY DEVELOPING BETWEEN
GLASGOW AND MILES CITY AS OF 830 UTC IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE TO
INCREASE EARLY THIS MORNING ALONG THE BAROCLINIC ZONE OF THE WESTERN
PERIPHERY OF COOL SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA. THE GREATEST IMPACTS OF THIS BAND SHOULD BE BETWEEN 11-16
UTC FOR BEACH...DICKINSON...MOTT AND POINTS SOUTHWEST. THIS BAND IS
EXPECTED TO QUICKLY DISSIPATE NEAR 18 UTC WITH THE LOSS OF
FRONTOGENESIS. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF INCH OR LESS ARE EXPECTED.
A SECONDARY BAND OF LIGHT SNOW AS ALSO DEVELOPING NORTH OF
GLASGOW...WHICH THE 00 UTC MODELS HAVE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME
RESOLVING. THUS...DID EXPAND SLIGHT CHANCE POPS INTO THE
NORTHWEST...AND THIS WILL HAVE TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE MORNING
HOURS AS THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MUCH SNOW WILL BE ABLE
TO REACH THE GROUND WITH DRY LOW LEVELS.

OTHERWISE FOR TODAY...AS HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS...TRENDED ON THE WARMER EDGE OF THE 00 UTC FORECAST ENVELOPE
FOR TEMPERATURES ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH CENTRAL WITH BARE
GROUND...YIELDING HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S. FOR THE SNOW PACK
AREAS...GOING NEAR TO JUST ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE CONSENSUS HAS
WORKED WELL WITH HIGHS IN THE UPPER 20S TO THE LOWER 30S.

FOR THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT...RETURN FLOW INCREASES AS LOW PRESSURE
ACROSS EASTERN MONTANA DEEPENS. WITH SURFACE WINDS OF 15-20 MPH AND
INCREASING MID TO UPPER LEVEL CLOUD COVER...LOWS SHOULD ONLY FALL
INTO THE LOWER TO MID 30S SOUTHWEST TO THE 10 TO 15 RANGE FOR THE
TURTLE MOUNTAINS AND UPPER JAMES RIVER VALLEY WITH A LATER
COMMENCEMENT OF RETURN FLOW. THIS LOW TEMPERATURE PATTERN IS CLOSE
TO THE 00 UTC DETERMINISTIC CONSENSUS WHICH SHOULD PERFORM BETTER
THAN THE STATISTICAL GUIDANCE IN A WELL MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER. ACROSS
THE FAR NORTHWEST POST 09 UTC TONIGHT...FRONTOGENESIS INCREASES AND
COUPLES WITH UPPER LEVEL FORCING WITH THE BEGINNING OF THE STORM
SYSTEM THAT CONTINUES INTO FRIDAY. PRECIPITATION LATE THURSDAY NIGHT
IS EXPECTED TO BE MOSTLY SNOW...WITH FREEZING RAIN OR SLEET
POTENTIALLY MIXING IN CLOSER TO 12 UTC AS A WARM LAYER ALOFT IS
ESTABLISHED.

.LONG TERM...(FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY)
ISSUED AT 411 AM CDT THU APR 4 2013

THE MAIN FORECAST PROBLEM IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD WILL BE
PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TYPES WITH A COUPLE OF WAVES MOVING
THROUGH A PROGRESSIVE UPPER FLOW. THE FIRST ON FRIDAY AND THEN AGAIN
ON SUNDAY.

DETERMINISTIC MODELS ARE IN PRETTY GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE FIRST
SYSTEM AND ENSEMBLE SPREAD IS MINIMAL. THE GFS DOES LIE ON THE FAST
SIDE OF GUIDANCE SO LEANED MORE TO THE EC/GEM WITH PRECIPITATION
CHANCES. A LITTLE MORE SPREAD WITH THE SECOND WAVE ON SUNDAY SO WENT
WITH A EVEN MODEL BLEND WITH PERSISTENCE. EARLY NEXT WEEK THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GFS AND THE EC/GEM SOLUTIONS WITH
YET ANOTHER WAVE. THE GFS BRING THE WAVE INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS
AND RESULTS IN ANOTHER ROUND OF RAIN AND SNOW MONDAY INTO MONDAY
EVENING. THE EC/GEM DROP THIS WAVE SOUTH BEFORE REACHING THE
NORTHERN PLAINS. BEING THAT THE GFS IS ON THE FAST SIDE OF
DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE...THINK THAT SUBSEQUENT RUNS MAY SHOW THIS
WAVE SLOWING AND DROPPING FARTHER SOUTH BEFORE REACHING NORTH
DAKOTA. HOWEVER...FOR THE OFFICIAL FORECAST...A MODEL BLEND WILL
RESULT IN CHANCE POPS ACROSS THE LOCAL AREA ON MONDAY...TAPERING TO
SLIGHT CHANCE MONDAY NIGHT. WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE HOW THIS
EVOLVES IN SUBSEQUENT RUNS. IT DOES APPEAR THAT AS THE MAIN UPPER
LOW EJECTS INTO THE CENTRAL U.S. EARLY NEXT WEEK...COLD HIGH
PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS KEEPING TEMPERATURES
BELOW SEASONABLE NORMALS.

FRIDAY SYSTEM...NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO PRECIPITATION PLACEMENT OR
COVERAGE WITH THIS UPDATE. TEMPERATURE PROFILES STILL INDICATE AN
AREA OF SNOW SPREADING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES...WITH A
TRANSITION ZONE OF MIXED PRECIPITATION ON THE SOUTH EDGE. SNOW
AMOUNTS ARE STILL IN THE 1 TO 3 INCH RANGE ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE
FROM BOWBELLS TO MINOT...HARVEY AND CARRINGTON. WITH A BAND OF MIXED
PRECIPITATION AND LITTLE SNOW ACCUMULATION ALONG AND SOUTH OF THIS
LINE. FARTHER SOUTH PRECIPITATION CHANCES TAPER QUICKLY AND QPF
AMOUNTS WILL BE MINIMAL WITH TEMPERATURES SUPPORTING MAINLY LIQUID
QPF.

SUNDAY SYSTEM...ALTHOUGH MODEL SOLUTIONS ARE NOT AS CONSISTENT...ALL
DETERMINISTIC MODELS BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS
WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. THE EC/GEM ARE COLDER AND WOULD
RESULT IN MAINLY SNOW...WHILE THE GFS IS WARMER WITH SNOW NORTH AND
RAIN SOUTH.

WILL ISSUE ANOTHER SPS HIGHLIGHTING THE SNOW AND MIXED PRECIPITATION
ON FRIDAY AND ANOTHER POTENTIAL FOR NOW AND MIXED PRECIPITATION ON
SUNDAY.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z FRIDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 100 PM CDT THU APR 4 2013

VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL NORTH
DAKOTA THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN LIGHT
SNOW ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AROUND 10Z NORTHWEST (KISN)...AND
PUSH EAST INTO NORTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA (KMOT) AFTER SUNRISE.
SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS WILL GRADUALLY DEVELOP AND INCREASE THROUGH
THE TAF PERIOD.

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 411 AM CDT THU APR 4 2013

A FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR THE SOURIS NEAR SHERWOOD AND AT MINOT 4
NW...WITH A FLOOD WARNING FOR THE SOURIS RIVER NEAR FOXHOLM
IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE DARLING. CURRENT LAKE DARLING
RELEASES ARE 2400 CFS. WHILE THE SOURIS RIVER IMMEDIATELY DOWNSTREAM
OF LAKE DARLING IS ICE FREE...RIVER ICE INCREASES TO A SOLID SHEET
CLOSER TO MINOT AND POINTS DOWNSTREAM. SIGNIFICANT RIVER ICE ALSO
REMAINS ON THE SOURIS RIVER THROUGH RENVILLE COUNTY. AS THE RIVER
ICE IS LIFTED WITH INCREASED FLOWS...IT MAY POTENTIALLY
BREAK...WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ICE JAM AND RAPIDLY FLUCTUATING RIVER
LEVELS. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE ICE IS CONSTRICTING FLOW WITHIN
THE CHANNEL. THUS...THE CURRENT AND FORECAST STAGES ARE HIGHER THAN
WOULD BE EXPECTED FOR ANY GIVEN FLOW ASSOCIATED WITH AN OPEN ICE
FREE CHANNEL.
