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 12:00Z, 6.9 hours before the alert went out and 35 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, Aug 16, 12:42 PM CDT, 1 hour 10 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
1242 PM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

THE 12 UTC DETERMINISTIC SUITE IS MUCH LESS ROBUST WITH CONVECTION
RE-DEVELOPING ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...THUS...CUT BACK POPS FOR THESE AREAS.
TEH FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAIN THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON WILL BE
MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY WHERE SUNSHINE HAS
ALLOWED TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB TO NEAR 80F WITH DEW POINTS IN THE
LOWER 70S.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 915 AM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

GIVEN RADAR TRENDS THROUGH 14 UTC...THE 10-11 UTC HRRR ITERATIONS
AND 00 UTC WRF-ARW/NMM SOLUTIONS...THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL
THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON WILL BE ACROSS THE PRAIRIE POT HOLE
REGION OF SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...SHIFTING INTO THE JAMES
RIVER VALLEY IN THE SOUTHEAST QUADRANT OF THE MESO-LOW EVIDENT ON
RADAR ACROSS THE HIGHWAY 83 CORRIDOR THIS MORNING. FLASH FLOOD
GUIDANCE IS IN THE 2-3 INCH PER HOUR RANGE FOR THESE AREAS.

ACROSS THE WEST...ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE AREAS WHICH WERE IMPACTED
BY VERY HEAVY RAIN OVER THE PAST 24-36 HOURS...MUCH OF THE DAY
WILL BE RATHER PRECIPITATION FREE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS FOR THIS
EVENING AND TONIGHT AS ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS IS FORECAST
TO PROPAGATE INTO THE AREA FROM EASTERN MONTANA AS UPPER LEVEL
FORCING INCREASES AHEAD OF THE UPPER LEVEL LOW ACROSS THE NORTHERN
ROCKIES. FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE IS WELL BELOW ONE INCH FOR MOST AREAS
ALREADY IMPACTED BY HEAVY RAIN...WITH ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL
AGGRAVATING THE ONGOING FLOODING.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 625 AM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

BROAD AREA OF PRECIP CONTINUES TO STRETCH FROM NORTHWESTERN TO
SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. GOING FORECAST ADDRESSES THIS WELL.
ONLY CHANGES MADE WERE TO PULL AREAS OF FOG FURTHER NORTH AND
WEST TO MATCH CURRENT OBS.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

ISSUES IN THE SHORT TERM ARE ALL HYDROLOGIC WHICH IS BEING
FOCUSED ON IN THIS SHORT TERM SECTION.

LATEST RADAR TRENDS ARE FINALLY SHOWING A SLIGHT EASTWARD PUSH TO
THE LARGE AREA OF HEAVY RAIN OVER THE CENTRAL PART OF WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA. THIS WILL BE WELCOME NEWS TO THE FOLKS IN DUNN
COUNTY WHERE SIGNIFICANT OVERLAND FLOODING WAS OCCURRING. THE
FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THAT CENTRAL PART OF WESTERN NORTH
DAKOTA THROUGH THE DAY SATURDAY. AS THE BACK EDGE OF THE RAIN AREA
WAS SHOWING A SLIGHT PUSH TO THE EAST...THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE
RAIN WAS ADVANCING MORE QUICKLY THROUGH MCLEAN AND MERCER
COUNTIES. AT THE SAME TIME NEW SHOWER/STORM DEVELOPMENT WAS
OCCURRING IN THE MANDAN-BISMARCK-STEELE AREAS.

DIFFLUENT FLOW ALOFT CONTINUES TODAY WITH SHORT WAVE ENERGY
ROTATING AROUND THE MAIN CLOSED H5 LOW IN SOUTHERN ALBERTA CANADA.
THIS MEANS A CONTINUED HIGH CHANCE FOR RAIN ACROSS THE WESTERN AND
CENTRAL PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA INTO THIS AFTERNOON...SHIFTING
EAST BY LATE DAY.

OVERLAND FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR MCKENZIE...DUNN...GOLDEN VALLEY...
BILLINGS...STARK...AND WESTERN MERCER AND WESTERN MORTON COUNTIES
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON.

.LONG TERM...(SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY)
ISSUED AT 345 AM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

MAIN CHALLENGE FOR THE EXTENDED IS CONTINUED PRECIPITATION CHANCES
TO START THE UPCOMING WEEK. CENTER OF UPPER LOW WILL PUSH ACROSS
SOUTHERN SASKATCHEWAN ON SUNDAY...AND THROUGH SOUTHERN MANITOBA
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY MONDAY. EXPECT PRECIP FOCUS TO START OUT
IN WEST-CENTRAL DURING THE DAY ON SUNDAY...THEN WORK TOWARDS THE
EAST SUNDAY NIGHT/EARLY MONDAY WITH PRECIP TAPERING FROM WEST TO
EAST THROUGH THE DAY ON MONDAY. EXPECT A QUIET PERIOD ON TUESDAY
AS FAST MOVING RIDGE PASSES OVER BEHIND DEPARTING SYSTEM BEFORE
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW SETS UP OVER THE AREA. MODELS DIFFER SOME ON
HOW STRONG THIS FLOW IS...BUT THE MAIN POINT IS THAT THIS WILL
BRING THE NEXT ROUND OF PRECIPITATION CHANCES TO THE AREA.

&&

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 18Z TAFS THROUGH 18Z SUNDAY AFTERNOON)
ISSUED AT 1241 PM CDT SAT AUG 16 2014

MVFR/IFR CONDITIONS IN SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS
EXPECTED AT KBIS/KMOT/KJMS THIS AFTERNOON...POSSIBLY CONTINUING
INTO THE EVENING AT KJMS. ANOTHER ROUND OF POSSIBLY SEVERE STORMS
IS EXPECTED ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY.
