For the Souris River Basin including Foxholm...Minor flooding is

. Increased outflows from Lake Darling and snowmelt runoff from
local areas below Lake Darling is reaching the Towner area. There
is still a good amount of ice in the reach, which adds uncertainty
to the timing of the flow as it moves further downstream. Ice jams
may form as ice breaks up and moves through the system.

Flood Statement

116 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017
...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
Willow Creek near Willow City affecting McHenry and Bottineau
Counties
For the Souris River Basin including Foxholm...Towner...Bantry...
Westhope...Willow City...Moderate flooding is occurring...With Major
flooding forecast.
. Runoff from melting snow has slowed considerably over the past few
days and upstream points along the Souris River are falling while the
bulk of the snowmelt runoff is now reaching the Bantry to Westhope area.
High water is expected to remain along the Souris River for the
foreseeable future, especially in the area from Towner to Westhope.
The good news is that the peak water levels are now starting to
show up in the forecasts for even the downstream areas of Westhope and
Bantry. These peaks are contingent on the area receiving no large rain
events over the next couple of weeks. Any substantial rain events
could cause the river to rise beyond current forecasts.
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.

ajsWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Bismarck, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Mar 23, 11:32 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 11:32 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 1132 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 1127 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 Little overall change. Did lower highs across the southwest into the 40s as cloud cover and additional precipitation will prevent temperatures from reaching the 50s. Otherwise, grids were blended to observed trends through 16 UTC. UPDATE Issued at 750 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 Quick update to increase PoPs based on radar trends through 1245 UTC, blended thereafter to the 10-11 UTC HRRR/RAP. Did expand the mention of freezing rain to most of the James River Valley this morning where road temperatures are around 31-32F with rain inbound. Issued an SPS to highlight a potential for a brief period of freezing rain until road temperatures can warm sufficiently after sunrise. UPDATE Issued at 647 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 No changes with forecast or previous thoughts with the forecast. Main issue in the next couple hours remains the brief window of opportunity for possible freezing rain across central portions of ND. Temp at KBIS is 33 and road temps have been at or slightly below freezing, with area of light precip moving into the area. KHEI only reported .02 inches of precip and incoming sounding data here at the office showed some dry air between 850 and 700 mb to be overcome. Mandan airport just reported unknown precip type which matches well with timing of radar. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 425 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 Forecast highlights in the short term period will be increasing chances for rain this morning spreading east and north, with a brief window for freezing rain central early. Currently, upper level ridge axis east of the Dakotas with southwesterly flow aloft increasing into the region. Lead embedded S/WV impulse ejecting out of a potent upper level trough over the Desert Southwest lifting northeast across Wyoming towards the Northern Plains early this morning. Favorable upper level jet dynamics as well with both left exit and right entrance region upper level divergence in play. Resultant precipitation ahead of the mid level wave just entering southwest ND as of this writing. Cluster of lightning strikes just to our south over Perkins County SD, though high res models suggest instability to support thunderstorms remaining to our south. We opted to keep thunder out of the forecast (to avoid over-forecasting convection) though there is a possibility for an isolated storm or two this morning as models do show some weak MUCAPE over my far south. Future updates may be needed depending on the coverage of any potential thunder activity. Main challenge this morning is whether or not we will see freezing precipitation. Surface temperatures and road surface temperatures do suggest a possibility. Latest HRRR/RAP/NAM Bufkit soundings all agree on the potential for at least a brief window (1-2 hours) for freezing rain over portions of south central ND before both air and road temps increase, with a few hundreths of ice accumulation forecast by high res guidance between now and 8AM CDT, which is roughly the same time frame the METRo Roadcast model also indicates the potential for ice. We decided to add this back into the HWO and also will highlight in the weather story and other products. Chance for rain continues in the afternoon, though forcing will be on the decrease with the main push already moving east- northeast by 18-20Z. Lingering clouds over my central and east tonight, with mostly clear conditions west. .LONG TERM...(Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 425 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 Quiet and mild Fri & Sat as split flow aloft keeps the storm tracks north and south of North Dakota. Quasi-active flow returns late this weekend and into next week, though no impactful weather is foreseen and temperatures will remain seasonal. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Friday) Issued at 1127 AM CDT Thu Mar 23 2017 Rain continues across southwest and south central North Dakota late this morning and will slowly diminish late this afternoon and into the evening. Otherwise, mainly VFR conditions expected today with the possibility of fog developing across much of the area tonight. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 309 PM CDT Wed Mar 22 2017 In response to increased releases from Alameda Reservoir, Lake Darling will increase its releases to 1000 CFS by Thursday, with the potential for further increases next week. This will cause the Souris River downstream of Lake Darling near Foxholm to rise but remain just below flood stage. As this pulse of water travels further downstream where greater ice cover remains on the Souris River, ice break up will have to be closely monitored. Furthermore, snowmelt will be on the increase with a sustained period of above normal temperatures late this week and through next week. While soil moisture was high across the Souris Basin going into the winter, early snow insulated the ground, preventing much frost from forming. Thus, some uncertainty remains as to how much melt from the snowpack will infiltrate into the ground versus runoff and reach the river, streams and coulees. && .BIS WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
