.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 708 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

MAIN CHANGE FOR THE MORNING UPDATE HAS BEEN TO GO WITH AN AREAL
FLOOD WATCH. GROUND TRUTH REPORTS COMING IN SHOW THAT THE RADAR
HAS BEEN UNDERESTIMATING RAINFALL IN SPOTS. GIVEN THAT WE ALREADY
HAVE SOME REPORTS OF RURAL ROADS IN PEMBINA COUNTY UNDER DUE TO
OVERLAND FLOODING AND THE FACT THERE COULD BE AN INCH OR MORE ON
TOP OF ALREADY SATURATED GROUND THROUGH TOMORROW...WILL GO WITH A
WATCH ACROSS THE ENTIRE CWA. ALSO EXTENDED WIND ADVISORY TO 06Z AS
GUIDANCE SHOWS WINDS PICKING UP THIS EVENING.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY THROUGH TUESDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

PRECIP AND WINDS WILL BE THE MAIN FORECAST CONCERN FOR THE SHORT
TERM.

THE UPPER LOW CENTERED OVER SD WILL CONTINUE TO WOBBLE OVER THE
REGION THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE WORK WEEK. BANDS OF SHOWERS
AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHWESTWARD
THROUGH THE CWA AS THE LOW ROTATES TO OUR SOUTHEAST. ANOTHER INCH
TO INCH AND A HALF OF RAIN WILL BE POSSIBLE IN SOME AREAS THROUGH
TODAY WITH MORE EXPECTED TOMORROW. EXACT PLACEMENT OF HEAVIEST
RAINFALL IS STILL SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN...BUT AT THIS POINT THE
NORTHERN COUNTIES SEEM THAT THEY COULD SEE THE MOST AS MODELS SHOW
THE 700MB DEFORMATION BAND PIVOTING OVER THE AREA. THERE HAVE
BEEN SOME REPORTS OF SOME OVERLAND FLOODING IN WESTERN PEMBINA
COUNTY...SO ISSUED AN AREAL FLOOD ADVISORY FOR THAT REGION. SOME
LOCATIONS HAVE RECEIVED ENOUGH RAINFALL THE PAST FEW DAYS THAT
ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS COULD CREATE OVERLAND FLOOD PROBLEMS IN
AREAS WHERE THERE HAS NOT BEEN TIME TO SOAK IN. ON THE OTHER
HAND...THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL HAS BEEN VERY SPOTTY AND SOME
LOCATIONS HAVE ONLY HAD HALF AN INCH OR SO. DUE TO THE SPOTTY
NATURE OF THE RAIN THAT HAS OCCURRED WILL HOLD OFF ON ANY AREAL
FLOOD WATCHES FOR THE TIME BEING.

THE SFC LOW WILL BE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN RED RIVER VALLEY
THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY TODAY...WITH THE MODELS SHOWING SOME
SLIGHT DIFFERENCES IN EXACT PLACEMENT. THERE WILL BE A TIGHT
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER OUR NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES THROUGH MUCH OF
THE DAY. GFS HAS SOME WINDS NEAR 50 KTS AT 900MB THAT COULD MIX
DOWN AND MAKE KDVL AREA VERY GUSTY...BUT THE NAM IS NOT NEARLY AS
STRONG. SITES HAVE FALLEN BELOW ADVISORY CRITERIA...BUT THINK THAT
THE NORTHWESTERN COUNTIES WILL PICK UP AGAIN LATER ON THIS MORNING
AS THE SFC LOW HEADS EAST AND THE GRADIENT TIGHTENS A BIT. WILL
KEEP THE WIND ADVISORY GOING FOR NOW AND HAVE EXTENDED IT A BIT
INTO THIS EVENING AS IT MAY TAKE A BIT FOR WINDS TO DIE OFF.

THE UPPER LOW AND SFC LOW WILL IT WILL SINK FURTHER TO THE SOUTH
TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY. PRECIP WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE INTO THE CWA
THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. KEPT VERY HIGH POPS GOING FOR TONIGHT
INTO TUESDAY WITH ANOTHER HALF AN INCH OR SO OF ACCUMULATION
POSSIBLE IN SOME AREAS.

.LONG TERM...(TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)
ISSUED AT 339 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

THE UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY BEGIN TO MOVE OFF TO THE EAST TUESDAY
NIGHT. THERE COULD STILL BE SOME PRECIP BANDS AT LEAST OVER OUR
SOUTHERN COUNTIES SO KEPT POPS LIKELY THROUGH WEDNESDAY MORNING IN
THAT AREA WITH LESSER AMOUNTS FURTHER NORTH. THERE WILL BE SOME
LINGERING CLOUDS AND CHANCE FOR PRECIP INTO WEDNESDAY OVER THE
SOUTH WHICH WILL KEEP TEMPS BELOW 60...WHILE THE NORTH WILL SEE
MORE SUN AND GET A BIT WARMER. THE DRYING AND CLEARING TREND WILL
CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

THURSDAY-SUNDAY...DRY AND PLEASANT CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED FOR
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY AS A SFC RIDGE NOSES INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS.
THE 00Z GFS/ECMWF ARE IN DECENT AGREEMENT FOR NEXT WEEKEND WITH THE
MID/UPPER RIDGE AXIS SHIFTING SLOWLY EAST INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST AND
A LONGWAVE TROUGH OVER THE WEST. AS THE UPPER FLOW BECOMES MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY ACROSS THE HIGH PLAINS NEXT WEEKEND...CHANCES FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY BEGIN TO INCREASE OVER THE AREA. TEMPS
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN NEAR SEASONAL AVERAGES THROUGH THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 708 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

MVFR TO IFR CEILINGS AND VIS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY
WITH RAIN ON AND OFF. HARD TO TELL JUST WHEN THE HEAVIER SHOWERS
WILL COME INTO THE TAF SITES AND TAKE CONDITIONS LOWER. WILL HAVE
TO KEEP AN EYE ON THINGS. THINK THAT THE RAIN AND 700-1500 FT
CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE ENTIRE TAF PERIOD. WINDS WILL
PICK UP OUT OF THE NORTHEAST AT 15 TO 25 KTS WITH HIGHER WINDS
AROUND KDVL OF 25 TO 35 KTS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 339 AM CDT MON MAY 20 2013

A RIVER FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE PEMBINA RIVER AT
WALHALLA. RUNOFF FROM THE RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS HAS
RESULTED IN RIVER LEVELS RISING INTO MINOR FLOOD STAGE. THE
PEMBINA RIVER AT NECHE IS FORECAST TO RISE INTO MAJOR FLOOD STAGE
EARLY THIS WEEK. HOWEVER...SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH THESE
FORECASTS BASED ON FUTURE PRECIP AS WELL AS PLACEMENT AND
MAGNITUDE OF RAINFALL OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS.

ALSO ISSUED A FLOOD ADVISORY FOR WESTERN PEMBINA COUNTY...WITH SOME
REPORTS OF OVERLAND FLOODING NEAR MOUNTAIN ND. THE POTENTIAL FOR
ADDITIONAL OVERLAND FLOODING WILL NEED TO BE MONITORED.

OTHERWISE...GIVEN THE RECENT RAIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR ANOTHER 1 TO
2 INCHES OF RAINFALL OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...SEVERAL RIVER FORECAST
POINTS ALONG THE MAINSTEM RED AND SURROUNDING TRIBUTARIES MAY REACH
FLOOD STAGE. RIVER FLOOD WATCHES REMAIN IN EFFECT FOR SITES THAT MAY
RISE ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. SOME UNCERTAINTY EXISTS IN THESE
FORECASTS...AND THE RIVER RESPONSES WILL DEPEND ON FUTURE RAINFALL
AMOUNTS AND PLACEMENT...AS WELL AS HOW MUCH OF THE RAINFALL RUNS OFF.
