...The flood warning continues for the following rivers in North
Dakota...
Souris River near Foxholm affecting Ward County
Souris River near Towner affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Bantry affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Westhope affecting Bottineau County
For the Souris River Basin including Foxholm...Towner...Bantry...
Westhope...Minor flooding is occurring and is expected to continue.
.Minor flooding along the rural areas of the Souris River below Lake
Darling Dam will continue well into the second half of April despite
the otherwise dry weather pattern in place. Reservoirs above Alameda
and Rafferty dams are nearly back to desired water levels. However,
it will still take several days for eventually lower releases to work
their way through North Dakota.
Impacts remain restricted to inundation of agricultural land
near the river with no communities at risk of flooding.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Safety message...Turn around...Don't drown. Avoid driving on flooded

Dakota...
Souris River near Foxholm affecting Ward County
Souris River near Towner affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Bantry affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Westhope affecting Bottineau County
For the Souris River Basin including Foxholm...Towner...Bantry...
Westhope...Moderate flooding is occurring and is expected to
continue.
.High flow out of Canada will continue through the weekend and well
into the fourth week of April. The net result of this is that the
high water currently along the Souris River in North Dakota will
see little change until near the end of April. In the short term,
no change is expected immediately downstream of Lake Darling.
However, in the Towner to Westhope reach of the Souris River, a
very slight rise is expected over the coming days. Impacts at
expected water levels remain restricted to low-lying agricultural
land with no cities at risk of flooding.

FLOOD STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
1134 AM CDT MON APR 20 2015
...The flood warning continues for the following rivers in North
Dakota...
Souris River near Foxholm affecting Ward County
Souris River near Towner affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Bantry affecting McHenry County
Souris River near Westhope affecting Bottineau County
For the Souris River Basin including Foxholm...Towner...Bantry...
Westhope...Minor to Moderate flooding is occurring and is expected to
continue.
.The recent dry weather is starting to be felt in the flow along
the upper Souris River in Canada. Runoff into both Rafferty and
Alameda reservoirs continues to fall with Rafferty already having
cut releases. This lower release from Rafferty Dam will result in
less water flowing into North Dakota by the middle of the week.
Accordingly, Lake Darling is on track to cut releases by late this
week. The lower flow out of Lake Darling will gradually make its
way downstream, but it will still be many days before significant
relief is felt in the Towner area, and at least a couple of weeks
before significantly lower water is noticed in the Bantry to
Westhope reach of the Souris River.
High water and its impacts remain restricted to largely agricultural
lands nearest the Souris River.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Safety message...Do not drive into areas where water tops the
roadway. Turn around...Don't drown. Avoid driving on flooded roads.
A follow-up product will be issued.
