.A LOWER RELEASE RATE FROM LAKE DARLING IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE ON

CURRENTLY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. IMPORTANTLY...IT WILL STILL TAKE SEVERAL 
DAYS FOR THE LOWER REACH OF THE SOURIS RIVER BETWEEN TOWNER AND WESTHOPE 
TO EFFECTIVELY BENEFIT FROM THIS LOWER DISCHARGE. THE CURRENT WEATHER 
FORECAST CALLS FOR NORMAL TO BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION OVER THE NEXT 
SEVERAL DAYS AND WILL HELP REMOVE EXCESS WATER FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE. 

BACKWATER EFFECTS FROM THE SOURIS RIVER AND STRONG RUNOFF FROM THE LAKE 
METIGOSHE AREA CONTINUE TO AFFECT WILLOW CREEK. WATER LEVELS SHOULD 
ESTABLISH A STEADY DOWNWARD TREND OVER THE COMING WEEKEND BUT WILL REMAIN

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN NORTH 
DAKOTA... 

  SOURIS RIVER NEAR FOXHOLM AFFECTING WARD COUNTY

  SOURIS RIVER NEAR WESTHOPE AFFECTING BOTTINEAU COUNTY 
  WILLOW CREEK NEAR WILLOW CITY AFFECTING MCHENRY AND BOTTINEAU 
  COUNTIES 

FOR THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN INCLUDING FOXHOLM...TOWNER...BANTRY...
WESTHOPE...AND WILLOW CITY MINOR TO MAJOR FLOODING IS OCCURRING 
AND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. 

.A LOWER RELEASE RATE FROM LAKE DARLING IS EXPECTED TO TAKE PLACE ON 
JULY 14. THIS WILL START THE LOWERING OF WATER LEVELS AT FORECAST POINTS 
CURRENTLY ABOVE FLOOD STAGE. HOWEVER...IT WILL STILL TAKE SEVERAL 
DAYS FOR THE LOWER REACH OF THE SOURIS RIVER BETWEEN TOWNER AND WESTHOPE 
TO EFFECTIVELY BENEFIT FROM THIS LOWER DISCHARGE. THE CURRENT WEATHER 
FORECAST CALLS FOR NORMAL TO BELOW NORMAL PRECIPITATION OVER THE NEXT 
SEVERAL DAYS AND WILL HELP REMOVE EXCESS WATER FROM THE COUNTRYSIDE. 

BACKWATER EFFECTS FROM THE SOURIS RIVER AND STRONG RUNOFF FROM THE LAKE 
METIGOSHE AREA CONTINUE TO AFFECT WILLOW CREEK. WATER LEVELS SHOULD 
ESTABLISH A STEADY DOWNWARD TREND OVER THE COMING WEEKEND BUT WILL REMAIN 
ABOVE FLOOD STAGE YET FOR SEVERAL DAYS. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Area forecast discussion, Jul 1, 9:03 AM CDT, 1 hour 44 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
903 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

.UPDATE...
ISSUED AT 903 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

WRAP AROUND MOISTURE FROM A HUDSON BAY LOW WILL CONTINUE TO
GENERATE ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS OVER CENTRAL AND EASTERN
NORTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING. HIGH PRESSURE BUILDING INTO WESTERN
NORTH DAKOTA WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE A DRYING TREND FROM WEST TO
EAST THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON HOURS.

GRADIENT FLOW AROUND THE LOW WILL ALSO GENERATE BREEZY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AREAWIDE TODAY. THE WINDS SHOULD STAY BELOW
ADVISORY CRITERIA.

THE CURRENT FORECAST IS ON TRACK WITH NO MAJOR UPDATES REQUIRED.
ONLY ADJUSTED THE HOURLY SENSIBLE WEATHER GRIDS BASED ON CURRENT
OBS/TRENDS. THE UPDATED PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN SENT.

UPDATE ISSUED AT 640 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

HUDSON BAY LOW CONTINUES TO INFLUENCE THE WEATHER ACROSS WESTERN
AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THIS MORNING. BREEZY NORTH TO NORTHWEST
WINDS WITH ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS WITHIN THE WRAP AROUND
MOISTURE DROPPING SOUTH ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA. WE SHOULD SEE
IMPROVING CONDITIONS DURING THE DAY AS THE LOW FINALLY EXITS INTO
EASTERN CANADA...SHOWERS ENDING AND SKIES CLEARING FROM NORTHWEST
TO SOUTHEAST. NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FORECAST. DID
REMOVE THE MENTION OF PATCHY FOG EXCEPT FOR FAR EASTERN PORTIONS
OF CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA...WHERE THERE WERE STILL SOME RESTRICTIONS
TO VISIBILITY IN RAIN SHOWERS AND FOG.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT)
ISSUED AT 251 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE PERSISTENT UPPER LOW
CIRCULATING OVER WESTERN ONTARIO EARLY THIS MORNING. THE LAST
SHORTWAVE IS ROTATING AROUND THIS LOW AND IS CURRENTLY WORKING
THROUGH NORTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA. THIS SHORTWAVE WILL APPROACH CENTRAL
NORTH DAKOTA TOWARD 12Z...AND INTO THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY BY 18Z
TODAY. SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND REGIONAL RADAR SHOW THE BACK EDGE OF
RAIN SHOWERS LOCATED OVER CROSBY. BASED ON THE LATEST FOG/STRATUS
LOOP AND SHORTWAVE POSITION...CONCUR WITH THE LATEST HRRR
SKY/CEILING AND PRECIPITATION FORECAST...THAT THE CLOUDS/SHOWERS WILL
DECREASE FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST DURING THE DAY. SHOULD MENTION
THAT THESE HIGHER RESOLUTION MODELS...THE HRRR AND WRF...TRY TO
REDEVELOP A COUPLE OF SHOWERS IN EASTERN MONTANA AND NEAR OUR WESTERN
BORDER BY MID TO LATE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER WITH RIDGING AND SUBSIDENCE
LIMITING THE VERTICAL EXTENT OF THE CUMULUS FIELD...FELT THE AREAL
COVERAGE WOULD BE VERY MINIMAL FOR ANY MENTION OF MEASURABLE POPS AT
THIS TIME. THE DAY SHIFT CAN ADJUST AND ADD SOMETHING IF THIS AREA
GROWS LARGER THAN ANTICIPATED. FARTHER EAST...THE SHOWERS
COMPLETELY EXIT THE SOUTHERN JAMES RIVER VALLEY BY 22Z. BREEZY
NORTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 30 MPH WILL BE COMMON ACROSS WESTERN AND
CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...THEN DIMINISH TO LESS
THAN 10 MPH TUESDAY EVENING. WITH THE THE 850MB THERMAL
TROUGH/COLD POCKET OVERHEAD TODAY...HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
BELOW NORMAL. EXPECT AFTERNOON HIGHS FROM AROUND 60 IN THE JAMES
RIVER VALLEY WHERE CLOUDS/SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL PERSIST INTO THE
MID AFTERNOON...TO AROUND 70 IN THE WEST WHERE PARTLY CLOUDY
CONDITIONS WILL EMERGE. FOR TONIGHT...SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL
BUILD ACROSS NORTHWEST AND INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA. LIGHT
WINDS AND A CLEARING SKY WILL ALLOW FOR PATCHY FOG TO
DEVELOP...AND HAVE ADDED THIS INTO THE GRIDDED FORECAST. OVERNIGHT
LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE QUITE COOL...WITH LOWS IN THE MID 40S.
NORMAL LOWS SHOULD BE IN THE LOW TO MID 50S. RECORD LOWS ARE IN
THE UPPER 30S...BUT NOT EXPECTING TO GET THAT COLD.

.LONG TERM...(WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)
ISSUED AT 251 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

WE BEGIN THE LONG TERM PERIOD WEDNESDAY ON A QUIET NOTE WITH SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND A NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW.
TEMPERATURES WILL BE A LITTLE BELOW NORMAL FOR EARLY JULY WITH HIGHS
MAINLY IN THE 70S. NORMAL HIGHS ARE IN THE LOWER 80S.

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY AS UPPER LEVEL
RIDGING BUILDS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS. TEMPERATURES SHOULD WARM TO
NEAR CLIMATOLOGICAL NORMALS ON THURSDAY.

THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND THE UPPER RIDGE FLATTENS
AND A QUASI-ZONAL FLOW SETS UP WITH TRANSIENT WAVES TRACKING ACROSS
THE NORTHERN PLAINS. MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES ALSO RISE UNDER
MID-UPPER LEVEL RIDGING CENTERED OVER THE WESTERN U.S. THIS SHOULD
PRODUCE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES (MID TO UPPER 80S) OVER THE
HOLIDAY WEEKEND WITH DAILY ISOLATED TO SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES. OVERALL IT IS SHAPING UP TO BE A WARM WEEKEND...AND
ALTHOUGH WE WILL SEE PERIODIC THUNDERSTORM CHANCES...IT APPEARS THAT
THE MAJORITY OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND WILL BE DRY. THIS PATTERN IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

.AVIATION...(FOR THE 12Z TAFS THROUGH 12Z WEDNESDAY MORNING)
ISSUED AT 640 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

MVFR CIGS WITH INTERMITTENT RAIN SHOWERS WILL BEGIN THE TAF PERIOD.
HOWEVER...IMPROVING CONDITIONS WITH MVFR CIGS LIFTING TO VFR AT KISN
BY 13Z...KDIK/KMOT BY 15Z...KBIS AROUND 17Z...AND KJMS BY 22Z
TUESDAY. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS 20KT TO 30KT WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
TUESDAY AFTERNOON...THEN DIMINISH TO LESS THAN 10KT BY 02Z
WEDNESDAY. PATCHY FOG/VCFG HAS BEEN ADDED AFTER 06Z WEDNESDAY AT
KISN/KBIS/KJMS.

&&

.HYDROLOGY...
ISSUED AT 251 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014

HEAVY RAINS FELL OVER THE SOURIS BASIN THIS PAST WEEKEND.
BOTH ALAMEDA DAM AND LAKE DARLING WILL BE STORING A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF RUNOFF GENERATED BY THESE STORMS WHILE STILL KEEPING
SOME STORAGE AVAILABLE FOR FUTURE RAINFALL EVENTS. HOWEVER WITH
THE RECENT SIGNIFICANT RAINFALL OVER THE SOURIS RIVER BASIN IN
CANADA...RELEASES FROM ALAMEDA DAM WILL INCREASE OVER THE COMING
DAYS AND THUS INCREASING THE RELEASES DOWNSTREAM FROM LAKE DARLING.
THIS WILL CAUSE THE SOURIS RIVER TO REACH MINOR TO MODERATE FLOODING
DOWNSTREAM OF LAKE DARLING THROUGH THE WORK WEEK.
