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.

...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...Minor to Major flooding is occurring and is 
expected to continue.

. High water continues along the Souris River's run through North 
Dakota. However, from Sherwood down through the Towner area, the 
forecasts generally show a slow fall in water levels through the 
coming days even though water will remain high for the foreseeable 
future. From Bantry to Westhope, the Souris continues to rise but 
the likely peak is in the forecast window as not enough rain is 
expected to significantly alter the forecast. Elsewhere, Willow 
Creek remains above flood stage but will steadily fall over the 
coming days.

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.

For the Souris River Basin including Towner...Bantry...Westhope...
Willow City...Moderate to Major flooding is occurring and is expected 
to continue.

. Rapidly falling runoff out of Canada has allowed the discharge from 
Lake Darling to be lowered Wednesday evening with expectations for future 
decreases in discharge over the coming days. This discharge has already 
resulted in the cancellation of the flood warning for the Souris River 
near Foxholm. However, it will take many days for this water to reach 
the Towner to Westhope area. In fact, the Bantry to Westhope area is 
still seeing water levels increase and will crest over the coming few days.

Elsewhere in the Souris River basin, Willow Creek near Willow City remains 
above flood stage and is forecast to start falling by this weekend.

  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 Towner...Bantry...Westhope...
Willow City...Minor to Major flooding is occurring and is expected to 
continue.

. Rapidly falling runoff out of Canada allowed discharge from 
Lake Darling to be lowered Wednesday evening. This lopwer discharge 
combined with a depleted snowpack in North Dakota and not much for 
rain in the near future will allow even lower discharge from Lake Darling 
over the coming days. This lower discharge will take some time to be 
felt in the downstream areas of the Souris River near Towner, Bantry, and 
Westhope. The Souris River near Westhope is cresting today and will begin 
to slowly fall over the weekend. However, it will take many days for 
this downstream area of the Souris to drain all the excess water off 
of the flood plain.

Elsewhere in the Souris River basin, Willow Creek near Willow City remains 
above flood stage and will start falling this weekend as backwater effects
from the water levels on the Souris diminish.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Flood Statement

1104 AM CDT Sat Apr 8 2017

...The flood warning continues for the following rivers in North 
Dakota...
  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 Towner...Bantry...Westhope...
Willow City...Minor to Major flooding is occurring and is expected to 
continue.

.Rapidly falling runoff out of Canada allowed discharge from 
Lake Darling to be lowered Wednesday evening. This lower discharge 
combined with a depleted snowpack in North Dakota and little expected 
rain in the near future will allow even lower discharge from Lake Darling 
over the coming days. This lower discharge will take some time to be 
felt in the downstream areas of the Souris River near Towner, Bantry, and 
Westhope. The Souris River near Westhope will begin to slowly fall over 
this weekend. However, it will take many days for this downstream area of 
the Souris to drain all the excess water off of the flood plain.

Elsewhere in the Souris River basin, Willow Creek near Willow City remains 
above flood stage and will start falling this weekend as backwater effects
from the water levels on the Souris diminish.

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.

What 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 25, 11:56 AM CDT, 40 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Mar 25, 11:56 AM CDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
1156 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1149 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

Fog seems to be lifting as expected. The latest iterations of the
HRRR have had a solid handle on the progression of the current
environment. At this point, the thinking is still that stratus
will begin to lift and move out in the 18z to 20z time frame, with
mid to high clouds moving in from the west. Did decrease high
temperatures slightly across mainly the central part of the state
due to very little, if any, sunshine peeking through this
afternoon. Also tweaked precipitation chances based on current
radar trends in the near term. Otherwise, just blended the latest
observations to the going forecast.

UPDATE Issued at 849 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

Latest fog/stratus and surface observations indicate the primary
area of low clouds/fog stretch along and east of a line from
Rolla to Carrington and Harvey, into Bismarck/Mandan and Linton.
Latest high resolution models HRRR/RAP/GLAMP Meld/NAMNEST all
indicate that between 16z and 18Z the fog will lift and dissipate,
with the stratus deck lagging behind but eroding between 18z and 20z.
However, mid/high clouds streaming from southwest to northeast in
western ND will also begin to edge into central ND as well this
afternoon. Thus the mostly cloudy sky is on track. Minor tweak to
pops in the west as the Bowman Radar continues to show a trend
toward higher reflectivities. Cloud ceilings remain high at around
10kft to 12kft, so a lot of this is likely virga; but it is also
moistening up the drier layers below cloud base. Will keep an
isolated mention of rain showers through the morning in portions
of the west to account for this. Rest of the forecast elements in
good shape.

UPDATE Issued at 600 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

Have updated to add a small chance of rain showers early this morning
in the northwest based on radar returns approaching that area.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 440 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

Moisture was streaming in to the forecast area from both sides,
mid and high level from the west ahead of the approaching trough
that will bring precipitation later, and low level from the east
between the surface low over Missouri and surface high over
Ontario.

Low clouds were becoming more extensive and patchy fog had formed
in clear areas of the east.

For today, mostly cloudy in the east to southeast moist flow.
Ahead of the long wave trough crossing the Rockies will be two
short waves. The first, in the northern stream, moves into
Saskatchewan taking the lift associated with it north of the
border. This should deliver clouds at worst. The second, farther
south in the H5 flow, is weaker than earlier anticipated. Surface
convergence along the frontal boundary, and at least weak
lifting, should be enough to trigger showers very late in the day
in the west. The issue tonight becomes how low temperatures fall
before the showers advance east overnight. Thermal profiles are
indicating that the lower levels could be cold enough for ice
pellets (sleet) and some freezing rain in the area east of
Bismarck.

.LONG TERM...(Sunday through Friday)
Issued at 440 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

The longer term continues with continuity showing unsettled
periods about every other day or so. Precipitation type is rain
during the daytime and possibly a mix at night.

Synoptic scale models continue to show a progressive pattern with
troughing every other day or so in the fast flow. The troughs
continue to dig across the south and push east, keeping north
Dakota on the northern edge of the action. Precipitation is
not expected to be significant, a tenth of an inch or so with each
passing system. Lows 25 to 35 and highs in the 40s and 50s.

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Sunday afternoon)
Issued at 1149 AM CDT Sat Mar 25 2017

Ifr/mvfr cigs at KBIS/KJMS will lift and improve to vfr by 21z
Saturday. Vfr cigs/vsbys expected elsewhere through most of Saturday
night. The exception thereafter will be at KMOT/KJMS. Mvfr cigs are
forecast at KMOT 11z-14z Sunday; and ifr cigs at KJMS 13z-17z. High
confidence in -shra at KDIK between 05z and 12z Sunday with a vcsh
at KBIS between 7z-13z Sunday.
