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 Grand Forks, ND wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Apr 13, 9:40 AM CDT, 35 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 9:40 AM CDT, 35 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 940 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 .UPDATE... Issued at 940 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 No updates as we will continue to hold the course with dry northeast winds keeping much of the precipitation at bay. Some radar returns approaching the far southern CWA but web cams show little if anything reaching the ground. Main threat continues to be winds which should continue to pick up during the next few hours. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 312 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 Big winter storm system that moves into the Northern Plains later today is the main forecast challenge. Not too much going on right now, regional radars show some echoes over the western Dakotas, with rain at Rapid City and snow at Bismarck. Pretty decent moisture gradient across the FA, with a surface dew point of 9F at Baudette and 28F at Gwinner. So there is drier air in southern Canada once again. Models continue to show the primary impacts from this winter storm staying just to the south of our FA. It appears like there will be a really sharp line where there are no impacts to huge impacts. This looks to be somewhere just to the south or southeast of this FA. Expected snowfall amounts continue to decrease across our southern FA, even more than the previous model run. For that reason, it appears that winds will be the main impact today, across the far southern FA. Will go ahead and issue a wind advisory for the far southern FA for mainly the afternoon into early evening. These winds should decrease out of advisory criteria this evening, but will stay gusty tonight. .LONG TERM...(Saturday through Thursday) Issued at 312 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 Gusty winds will continue into Saturday, with the far southern FA remaining on the fringe of the snow. With minimal amounts of fresh snow, Saturday highs should rise back above 32F. Saturday night an upper low over SW quadrant IA begins to progress N then E...with models beginning to diverge on placement of the upper low by 18Z Sunday...the ECMWF being further north. Low then moves est into WI and over Lake Michigan by 12Z Monday. At this time an upper ridge moves over west cntrl Dakotas. There will be a threat of light snow in the far east SE on Saturday night as the low moves northward into srn MN...and the threat ending with its eastward progression. ECMWF would impact SE zones more than the 00Z GFS. A break in action from Sun through early Tue morning as the ridge slides east into the Valley. As SW flow aloft sets behind departing ridge Tue morning, increasing chances for some light snow north of Devils Lake. Chances of rain mainly in the Valley and ern ND Wed night as broad troughing of low pressure expands across Dakotas...and ECMWF developing closed low over NE NB. Another upper ridge moves into wrn Dakotas Wed night and will keep the area dry for the end of the week. Models do show daytime highs rising into the upper 40s with the second ridge. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Saturday morning) Issued at 635 AM CDT Fri Apr 13 2018 Not seeing any ceiling or visibility problems for any of the TAF sites. However, gusty NNE winds will pick up through the day, being strongest by late morning through the afternoon. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
