warning for the following rivers in North Dakota...
Souris River near Bantry affecting McHenry County
For the Souris River Basin including Bantry...Minor flooding is

that level through the first week of April. At these release levels
little impacts are expected. However, additional increases from

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.
.Nearly steady to rising water below Lake Darling Dam will keep the
flood warning currently in place along the Souris River through at
least the end of April. Near the end of April, releases from the
upstream dams in Canada are expected to diminish with the lower
water levels eventually working their way through North Dakota
during May.
Impacts remain limited to low lying agricultural land along the
Souris River with no communities or structures currently at
significant risk. However, this higher than normal water does
reduce the region's tolerance for significant rain events.
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.

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

.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.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

FLOOD STATEMENT

1222 PM CDT WED APR 22 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...Moderate flooding is occurring and is expected to
continue.
.Lower flows out of Canada are already being seen in the Souris
River above Lake Darling. This lower water coming out of Canada
will allow Lake Darling Dam to begin lowering its releases on
Friday. Alameda Dam in Saskatchewan will also be lowering its
releases later this week. This suggests Lake Darling will be
lowering its releases to near normal summer time levels by
late next week.
Farther downstream of Lake Darling, high water should be expected
in the Towner area for another couple of weeks with Bantry and
Westhope to fall below flood stage sometime around the middle of
May.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Safety message...Do not drive into areas where water tops the
