The recent string of above average temperatures has resulted in most of the snow cover disappearing over much of the central and southern Red River Valley. Due to the increased snow melt and rainfall in the 0.20 to 0.50 inch range in the Red River Valley on Monday, some locations are beginning to depict a response in river levels. Note that there continues to be some level of uncertainty in forecast river levels due to the return of below freezing temperatures later this week and into the weekend. This may cause runoff to freeze in the drainage networks, rivers, and streams rather than flow downstream. Forecasts will be updated as more data become available and as conditions warrant. This forecast is for a 7-day period...the highest stage indicated may not reflect the crest for this event. Forecasts are updated daily and stage values will change as new weather and river information is used. River forecasts usually use 24 hours of expected precipitation but depending on the situation it may include precipitation expected through the next 72 hours. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Safety message...turn around, don't drown... - Don't travel through flooded areas! - Persons in the warned area need to take steps to protect life and property. if necessary move to a higher and safer location. - Persons living in the Red River Basin should monitor river levels while the river is in, or near, flood.

A significant period of cold air temperatures are expected later this week which may cause runoff to freeze in the drainage networks, rivers, and streams, rather than flow downstream. In that case, the rivers may not rise as high as our forecasts. There is still ice present in area rivers and streams. Ice affected river gages do not give a good indication of actual flow in the channel. Rating Curves require open water in order to be used to estimate flows. Ice jams are very common at Oslo and cannot be ruled out. The effect of a possible ice jam is not included in this forecast. This forecast is for a 7-day period...the highest stage indicated may not reflect the crest for this event.

Note that there continues to be a somewhat higher level of uncertainty in the current forecasts due to the significant period of cold air temperatures expected later this week. These temperatures may cause runoff to freeze in the drainage networks, rivers, and streams, rather than flow downstream. In that case, river levels may not rise as high as forecast. On the other hand, ice jamming and other effects due to ice is possible as temperatures decrease and cannot be ruled out as a factor in increased river levels, especially at Oslo. The effects of ice have not been included in these forecasts. This forecast is for a 7-day period...the highest stage indicated may not reflect the crest for this event. Forecasts are updated daily and stage values will change as new weather and river information is used. River forecasts usually use 48 hours of expected precipitation but depending on the situation it may include precipitation expected through the next 72 hours. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Safety message...turn around, don't drown... - Don't travel through flooded areas! - Persons in the warned area need to take steps to protect life and property.

So forecast stages were lowered slightly at Abercrombie and Wahpeton. The Red River at East Grand Forks, Oslo, Drayton, and Pembina were rising slower than previously forecast. However the forecast at Fargo was raised a bit but the forecast still remains in the minor flood stage category. Note that ice jamming and other ice effects are possible as temperatures decrease and cannot be ruled out as a factor in increased river levels, especially at Oslo. Ice effects are not included in these forecasts. This forecast is for a 7-day period...the highest stage indicated may not reflect the crest for this event. Forecasts are updated daily and stage values will change as new weather and river information is used. River forecasts usually use 24 hours of expected precipitation but depending on the situation it may include precipitation expected through the next 72 hours. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Forecasts were decreased at Hawley and Dilworth on the Buffalo River and the forecast was decreased at Hendrum on the Wild Rice River. On the Red river the forecast was lowered at East Grand Forks and at Oslo. The river forecast were increased a bit at Fargo on the Red River and at Sabin on the South Fork of the Buffalo River with more water working into the rivers. However Fargo remains in the minor flood category. Note that ice jamming and other ice effects are possible as temperatures decrease and cannot be ruled out as a factor in increased river levels. Ice effects are not included in these forecasts. This forecast is for a 7-day period...the highest stage indicated may not reflect the crest for this event. Forecasts are updated daily and stage values will change as new weather and river information is used.

The Wild Rice River at Hendrum is being affected by backwater from the mainstem Red River. Additionally, water levels along portions of the Red River at Fargo and the Buffalo River at Dilworth are cresting and will begin to fall over the next few days. Little additional precipitation is expected in the local area over this next week. However, there continues to be some uncertainty in the current forecasts due to the significant period of cold air temperatures expected to occur this weekend and into early next week. These temperatures may cause runoff to freeze in the drainage networks, rivers, and streams, rather than flow downstream. In that case, river levels may not rise as high as forecast. On the other hand, the effect of possible ice and ice jams has not been included in the forecasts. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Increased cloud cover a bit for the rest of the morning as clouds are continuing to linger in the northeast and build in from the southwest slightly faster than anticipated. UPDATE Issued at 648 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Fog continues to be variable, but for the most part is east of the Red River. It has been locally dense at times, but not for very long. Still think it will slowly lift in most places by mid morning, but fog is always tricky. The radar continues to show a few echoes over the far northern FA, quickly moving to the east. Have seen a few spots report a brief UP or unknown pcpn remark, but overall not much is falling from these. Decreasing clouds are spreading into eastern ND, so there will be some sun today before more clouds begin to spread in later this afternoon. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 326 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Forecast challenges will be fog this morning, pcpn chances and type for the band of echoes currently moving through the Devils Lake region, and possible record highs again today. Starting in order, fog continues along and east of the Red River Valley early this morning. There are a few spots of locally dense fog, mainly on the edge of the low clouds/clearing, or from Grafton to Bemidji, and down toward Park Rapids. However, even in these areas, the vsbys have been bouncing around. There is also a mid cloud deck moving into that area, which has helped limit fog formation over eastern ND. So at this point, a dense fog advisory is not planned. Secondly, there is an area of light pcpn around Bottineau heading toward Langdon. The echoes look worse on radar than what sfc observations have been showing, which are very light amounts. Did keep some low pcpn chances along the Canadian border this morning for this, which is likely mixed pcpn. Finally, it looks like Fargo will have one more day with a record high, as we are forecasting temps to rise into the low 50s there. Elsewhere, expect a fairly big north to south temp gradient. Looking into tonight, models continue to show fairly big discrepancies with the next shot of pcpn for the FA. There remain some timing, placement, and amount issues, but they generally keep the idea of better chances over the northern half of the FA. Once again, pcpn type will be an issue. The warmer sfc temps remain along the southern edge of this pcpn band, with colder temps near the Canadian border. This would give a mix or rain along the southern edge and a mix or snow along the Canadian border. .LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 326 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Colder air will continue to sag southward on Wednesday, along with the area of light pcpn. Once again models differ fairly significantly on pcpn amounts. The WPC day 2 snow map shows an inch or two possible across the central FA, but since this is falling during the day, sfc temps could still be fairly mild. This could cut into how much snow falls, and for that reason kept with the idea of less than inch. Expect a break in the pcpn for late Wed night into Thursday, before the next system brushes the far southern FA with a little light snow Thursday night. This system is still targeting areas further south of the FA with more effects, or over southern SD into southern MN. For Friday, models continue in general agreement on placement and track of a Colorado Low system bringing heavy snow across the Central Plains. At this time, the consensus is the system will track south of the area. Otherwise...should see mainly dry northerly flow across the region and light snow amounts for the far southern portions of the forecast area. Temperatures Thursday will still remain slightly above normal. After the system passes, there will be a return to near normal temperatures...with highs in the lower 20s to middle 30s...and lows in the single digits to middle teens. The forecast for the weekend looks mostly dry but cannot completely rule out some flurries over the weekend as a shortwave disturbance or two pass overhead. By Monday...surface high pressure tracks east into the Great Lakes...and return flow will start to bring a bit warmer temps to end the forecast period. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Wednesday morning) Issued at 648 AM CST Tue Feb 21 2017 Fog and low clouds will be the main aviation challenge. Think that both of these will slowly shift east over the next few hours. After that, most of the day will be VFR. Question is then how fast any lower clouds move back in later this afternoon into tonight, and whether any TAF sites will see pcpn. Guidance basically shows the lower clouds returning tonight everywhere but KFAR. Have thrown in a mention of light RASN at KDVL, KGFK, and KTVF, which may briefly get clipped with a little as it moves through later tonight. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None.
