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 Mar 30, 10:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 16 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 30, 10:08 AM CDT, 1 hour 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 1008 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 .UPDATE... Issued at 1003 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 Dense fog is holding on within the Red River Valley including Grand Forks and Fargo. HRRR/RAP match up well with current coverage and indicate this will not completely improve until closer to Noon. With no high cloud cover masking it the fog is showing up well on satellite products, matching up with locations where dense fog is being reported/observed on webcams. I allowed some counties to expire on schedule for the Dense Fog Advisory where trends supported it, otherwise I extended the Advisory for locations within the Red River Valley where it is more likely to hold through Noon. UPDATE Issued at 655 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 Widespread dense fog remains in place over the mid and southern Red River basin. Briefly it extends west to Devils Lake, Cooperstown and Valley City. The Fosston to Detroit lakes area had fog but has since moved out. Other than tweaking the fog, no other changes were needed. && .SHORT TERM...(Today through Tuesday) Issued at 307 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 Radiational fog is developing as anticipated, started just around 05-06z. Conditions are favorable for expanding fog within the high pressure axis where winds are light. Visibilities are bouncing around some with some sites 1/4, some 1SM. Overall though feel conditions will get worse before improving, and will go ahead and issue dense fog advisory for highest impacted area, which is the Red River valley from Grafton to Wahpeton and east some into MN to Mahnomen, Fosston and Thief River Falls. Southeast winds enough to preclude widespread fog western fcst area and the far northeast and east has a bit drier airmass. So main impacts in the short range is this morning. Fog should burn off rather quickly, by 15z, with the rest of the day mostly sunny. Winds southeast which is not a great warming wind, but 925/850 mb temps rise 2-5C by 00z Tues as compared to 00z Mon. Therefore will see a boost in temps with highs reaching the 50s in many areas, with 45-50 within the core of the leftover snow cover areas from the mid RRV into NW MN. Tonight will see an increase in clouds as low level winds increase transporting moisture northward into central ND overnight. Some light rain showers are forecast to develop more so in E SD or into central ND and possibly DVL region by 12z Tue. Risk of showers remain mostly western fcst area Tuesday as drier southeast flow prevents showers east of the Red River. Another mild day. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday) Issued at 307 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 The long term presents some challenging periods in terms of QPF amounts and p-type. There is a period where accumulating snowfall is possible Tuesday night into Wednesday (far northwestern CWA, minimal impacts) and again from about midnight Wednesday night to midnight Friday night. This second period has the potential for impactful snow accumulations over a long period (48 hours). The long term period begins with an upper low over Alberta that sets up a fetch of PAC NW moisture across the northern Rockies and into the northern tier. The pattern itself sets up uncertainty on how much moisture will get across the mountains, and that uncertainty is seen in the GEFS QPF plumes that range by about 0.80 inches over Devils Lake...with the mean running a tad over 0.25 inches. GEFS probability of exceeding 0.25 inches over a 12-hour period is 70% to 80% and PWATs are only about 0.5 inches. So do like the mean being at the lower end of the 0.10 to 0.90 inch range. P- type will be diurnally driven to a point, with any initial snow melting on contact, as the best signal for accumulating snow is over the far northwest zones that should reach into the upper 50s Tue afternoon and only fall to near freezing Tuesday night. Have lowered snow ratios accordingly. This precip sets up along an inverted trough associated with surface low moving over SD...however the southerly fetch once depicted by deterministic models is now having gulf moisture cutoff by a southern plains system that should produce some convection. The second system once again sets up precipitation along an inverted trough extending from NE into n cntrl MN. Leading to uncertainty is a healthy amount of QPF moving into southeastern zones with northeast surface flow, a pattern that usually takes time for the column to saturate, therefore overdoing QPF in the early periods of the event. However, high pressure sinking into the Appalachians should open up the gulf for moisture transport into the northern plains. GEFS probability of exceedance charts show the best probabilities for exceeding 0.25 inches in a 12-hour period to be across areas south and southeast of the CWA (central MN). This uncertainty is captured with a 2 inch range for QPFs on GEFS plumes at Fergus Falls. I therefore have low confidence of exceeding one inch of precipitation even over the 48-hour period that is depicted in the latest model blends. Next issue will be P-type and temperatures, where accumulations are likely too high Thu and Fri afternoons with temperatures several degrees above freezing. The potential does exist, however, for some impactful snow accumulations to occur from Wed night into Friday evening...albeit from light snow over an extended period of time. There could also be some periods of sleet and freezing rain during this timeframe. For the weekend into early next week, temperatures remain cool with daytime highs in the 30s and 40s and overnight lows well into the 20s, which will help control the expected snowmelt runoff from warmer temperatures earlier in the week. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning) Issued at 655 AM CDT Mon Mar 30 2020 Fog remains concentrated at TVF, GFK, and FAR at 12z with vsbys 1/4SM. How it improves is always quite challenging. With clear sky above the fog layer should see some burn-off in the 14-15z period. But individual locations will vary. BJI and DVL are out of the fog. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 125 PM CDT Sat Mar 29 2020 The Wild Rice River at Abercrombie is set to reach major flood stage early this week, with the Red River at Fargo expected to reach major flood stage by mid-week. Snowmelt flooding will then work northward into Halstad, East Grand Forks, and Oslo toward the middle to end of the week. Flood Warnings were added to the Red River at both Drayton and Pembina as flood stage is expected to occur late this week. Dry weather prevails today and Monday with several chances for mainly light precipitation Tuesday through Friday as our weather pattern becomes more active. With anticipated warmer temperatures enhancing snow melt heading into next week, the Maple River near Mapleton and the Sheyenne River near Harwood are both forecast to rise into moderate flood stage. The Buffalo River near Hawley, the Wild Rice River in MN near Hendrum, and the Sheyenne River near Kindred should reach minor flood stage. Cooler weather returns later in the week, serving to slow the melt slightly heading into next weekend. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
