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 Jul 13, 7:14 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jul 13, 7:14 PM CDT, 1 hour 56 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Grand Forks ND
714 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

.UPDATE...
Issued at 702 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

Lead surface trof has pushed to an FGN-FSE-DTL line with a
trailing cold front still back in central ND. Severe threat is
mainly ahead of that surface trof line, and into northeastern
MN... tho widely scattered thunderstorms are still possible
across eastern ND into the late evening.

Meanwhile, a few strong storms are ongoing in eastern Polk,
Clearwater, and Mahnomen Counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Tuesday night)
Issued at 343 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

Monitoring severe threat this afternoon/evening (see mesoscale
discussion for severe potential/impacts).

Increasingly complicated forecast as a result of more extensive
stratus within WAA  and stable low level lapse rates that were
handled poorly by guidance. Strong forcing/WAA still supporting at
least clusters of showers/storms the rest of this afternoon in ND
before transitioning into MN and out of our CWA through mid evening.
Heavy rain rates already observed and back-building clusters
continue to support excessive rainfall potential where activity
tracks through this evening. After the main upper trough axis shifts
east a secondary lobe of positive vorticity advection moves south of
our CWA and elevated showers/storms may redevelop into the southern
half of our CWA late tonight into Tuesday morning. At that point
instability will be much less and we are not expecting strong/severe
potential beyond this evening.

After any lingering showers/storms end early Tuesday morning we
should see a less favorable pattern for convection, though there is
a weak signal for diurnally driven showers/storms (limited
instability so not expected to be strong). Another mild day expected
Tuesday (highs upper 70s/near 80) before the main warm up stars
getting underway.

.LONG TERM...(Wednesday through Monday)
Issued at 343 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

The main impact in this period will be the next system moving
through at the end of the week into the early weekend. Showers and
thunderstorms will be possible along a cold front during this
period. It is too early to determine the threat for severe weather
later this week as there is still a lot of spread amoung ensemble
solutions. There will also be a few chances for some isolated
thunderstorms throughout the week, but the main possibility for
stronger storms would be later week into the weekend.

Temperatures will also rise from near normal at the start of this
period to above normal with some temperatures near 90 possible by
Saturday.

.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Tuesday evening)
Issued at 702 PM CDT Mon Jul 13 2020

MVFR (and possible IFR) conditions may occur at times with
thunderstorm activity this evening. strongest activity should be
across northwest MN int 03z. Strong to severe storms are possible
with hail, damaging winds, and heavy rain... with impacts
possible at KBJI. The cold front lingers in central ND and should
As the front moves through the region winds should shift to the
west- northwest and decrease with VFR then prevailing.
