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 31, 2:50 PM CDT, 1 minute earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Mar 31, 2:50 PM CDT, 1 minute before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 250 PM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Wednesday night) Issued at 250 PM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020 Clouds have been increasing west of the Red River this morning and will continue to increase to the east of the river tonight. Wind speeds will drop off a little through the evening and then increase again toward morning. Biggest impact tonight will be when and how much precipitation may reach the FA. There is already an area just west of Minot and Bismarck that has been warmer today with 40 or so dew points. This has created some instability. Expect some shower and thunderstorm activity to develop in this area late this afternoon and evening, which will try to hold together as it moves east into our western FA by late evening and overnight. There is some 850mb warm advection and somewhat of an 850mb jet, but overall not that impressive. So generally expect some weakening shower activity for areas along and west of the Red River Valley tonight. More skeptical on any of this activity holding together as it moves east of the Valley mainly by Wednesday morning. For Wednesday there appears to be a weak boundary pushing into the FA. There is a re-strengthening 850mb jet and still some weak warm advection. Most precipitation (although light) appears to remain along the Canadian border. Wednesday evening should be fairly quiet for most areas, before the next round of precipitation begins to enter the southern FA overnight. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 250 PM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020 The main concern for this period will be the potential for significant winter impacts Wednesday into Friday. There will also be impacts with rainfall as it relates to the ongoing flooding (see hydro section below). Guidance is in good agreement with the overall pattern and a strong signal for precipitation Wednesday night into Friday. With that said, there are several details that remain uncertain due to the unpredictable nature of this pattern that will ultimately determine overall winter impacts. Wednesday night-Friday...A strong upper wave will eject from the central Rockies on Thursday, and then through the region on Friday. Ahead of this strong upper wave, a strong mid-level baroclinic zone will be set up somewhere across the northern plains. Strong mid-level Fgen will lead to potential banded precipitation before transitioning to more synoptically forced precipitation as the main upper trough swings through the region. During the Fgen period of forcing (Thursday), a narrow and elongated area of heavy precipitation (1+ inch) is possible, with less amounts elsewhere, so keep in mind that the ensemble and global model guidance likely have too big of a footprint for QPF. With that said, the location, amounts, and coverage are still very uncertain given the large spread in ensemble member from both the ECMWF and GEFS (in addition, the GEFS vs. ECMWF ensemble means are greatly different). The details will determine the area affected as well as residence time of the Fgen at any one given location and coverage of QPF. P-type is also uncertain with the baroclinic zone low level thermal profile transitioning from below freezing along the western edge to well above freezing along the eastern edge. Impactful snowfall is definitely possible over a short period of time (across a small area) and snow rates should be enough to overcome warmer ground temperatures (with snow ratios around 10:1). Thus, will need to continue to message this potential via the SPS. Will message at least 4-6 inches of snow with amounts up to 10 inches possible as 1-1.5" per hour rates for at least 4-5 hours seems probable (wherever the band sets up). During the synoptically forced precipitation (Thursday night into Friday), precipitation will be more widespread, but with lower rates and over a greater period of time. Anticipate snow for much of the region during this period of the event as the low level thermal profile is mostly below freezing. Hard to say if rates will be enough to overcome warm ground temperatures, but do think that although coverage will be more widespread, winter type impacts will be lower. High pressure and cooler temperatures will move into the region for the weekend. Ensemble guidance in agreement indicating more active weather and warmer temperatures returning to begin the work week although predictability is still very low. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Wednesday afternoon) Issued at 133 PM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020 The next system moving in very late tonight or Wednesday appears to be slower now. Therefore, KDVL may be the only site that has a potential for rain during this TAF period. Wind speeds are fairly breezy today, but these should drop a little again through the evening before rising late tonight into Wednesday. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 133 PM CDT Tue Mar 31 2020 North Dakota Tributaries continue responding to snow melt runoff working into the system from south to north. The Sheyenne River at lisbon is now forecast to reach minor flood stage later this week, with the forecast remaining on track for downstream sites at the West Fargo Diversion and Harwood, where major flood stage is expected. The Maple River at Enderlin continues on an upward trend with the Mapleton site trending downwards. The Wild Rice River at Abercrombie is currently trending downwards as well; however, precipitation later this week will likely trigger an upward response depending upon the exact track of the storm system. Precipitation type will matter as well, with rain leading to faster river level rises than snow. Minnesota tributaries are on the rise as melt water is working into the system a bit more slowly than in North Dakota. The Marsh River at Shelly, remains on track to reach minor flood stage Wednesday morning, with the Sandhill River at Climax reaching minor flood on Friday and Moderate flood by Saturday morning. Forecasts have been updated to highlight higher water levels for the Red Lake River at Crookston, as well as the Two Rivers River in Hallock, both of which are now forecast to reach moderate flood levels late this week. For the mainstem Red River, water levels are gradually rising as runoff pushes northward into the central portions of the Valley late this week. The Red River at Halstad will reach minor flood stage by the end of today, with a forecast to reach moderate flood Wednesday afternoon. Rises in East Grand Forks and Oslo will put those sites into minor stage on Wednesday, with moderate flood stage expected at both sites as we head into Thursday (Oslo) and Friday (East Grand Forks). Oslo is forecast to reach major flood stage this weekend. Further north, the Drayton and Pembina river sites will see a rise into minor flood stage late Friday into early Saturday. && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None. MN...None.
