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 May 9, 2:08 PM CDT, 33 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, May 9, 2:08 PM CDT, 33 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Bismarck ND
208 PM CDT Wed May 9 2018

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday)

Issued at 207 PM CDT Wed May 9 2018

Scattered showers/isold thunderstorms southeast today and good
chances for showers west late tonight into Thursday highlight the
short term period.

Currently, northwest flow aloft with an embedded S/WV impulse
and associated sfc reflection moving southeast through the
eastern Dakotas. Enough instability near the wave for scattered
showers over my southeastern counties, between the southern
Missouri River Valley and the James River Valley. Have not yet
seen any cloud flashes or lightning strikes, though will maintain
thunder mention with the present MUCAPE near 1000 J/KG. Increased
winds earlier and this has verified as we yet again have mixed
more than expected, resulting in higher wind magnitudes than
models portrayed. Should be noted that BUFKIT analysis can often
times do a much better job on seeing the mixing potential.

Embedded wave quickly exits off to our southeast late this
afternoon with decreasing instability and forcing so will keep a
dry evening forecast. Winds will quickly tape off as well early to
mid evening once the atmosphere decouples.

Upper level jet streak and associated mid level PVA will undercut
ridging to our west tonight, then will continue east into the
Northern Plains on Thursday. Surface trough/frontal boundary
remains stretched across central MT back southeast into western
SD, with a surface ridge extending south across the eastern
Dakotas. The ridge will act to keep showers mainly confined to
western North Dakota late tonight into Thursday, with more
elevated activity over central ND tomorrow where the boundary
layer remains dry. Colder air associated with the surface ridge
central and expected cloud cover and precipitation west will both
result in unseasonably cool daytime highs on Thursday from the mid
40s to mid 50s.

.LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday)

Issued at 207 PM CDT Wed May 9 2018

The long term is highlighted by below average temperatures
through Saturday morning, followed by a moderation in temperatures
this weekend into next week to near/slightly above normal
readings. Precipitation chances through the period will be hit and
miss/scattered in nature, though perhaps some decent chances south
on Friday and maybe more widespread early next week.

Cool high pressure remains partially over the area on Friday
maintaining cooler temperatures. Best chances for showers will be
across the south for the end of the week south of the high
pressure and near the path of embedded impulses being ejected by a
closed upper low over the Intermountain West.

Mainly dry conditions this weekend with high pressure building over
much of the north central CONUS. Upper low remains over the
western United States though it may be possible for some stray
showers to migrate near our local area.

Chance of precipitation returns early to mid next week as the
upper low starts to lift northeast. However GFS remains dry with
the ECMWF the wetter of the two by far.

&&

.AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon)

Issued at 128 PM CDT Wed May 9 2018

A few pockets of MVFR cigs remain about central North Dakota,
though expect these to lift to low VFR or scatter out now through
23-01Z. Shower and thunderstorm chances through early this
evening for KJMS. Otherwise VFR this evening, then increasing
clouds and showers developing across southwest ND after midnight.
Gusty northwest winds for all terminals today through about
00-01Z.
