DJRWhat 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, 10:26 PM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Apr 13, 10:26 PM CDT, 3 hours 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Grand Forks ND 1026 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 .UPDATE... Issued at 955 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 Rain showers have begun to enter ND. Expect showers to continue this evening and into tomorrow. Forecast remains on track. UPDATE Issued at 636 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 Clouds and virga continue to cover the area. This evening, the air should saturate enough with the trough passage to have some showers begin to form in SE ND and slowly spread north and eastward. Forecast remains on track. && .SHORT TERM...(This afternoon through Sunday) Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 -Several periods of light (possibly moderate) rain showers and isolated thunderstorms move through the region tonight into this weekend. This may help accelerate the melt of lingering snow pack particularly where moderate rainfall occurs. -A brief mix or changeover to snow is possible Saturday into Sunday morning as much cooler temperatures arrive. Travel impacts are not anticipated as even light accumulation (dusting to 1") will be very low. SW flow aloft is in place with elevated WAA and steep 2-6km lapse rates supporting occasional showers, however as based remain very high the actual amounts reaching the surface have been less than 0.1" where they occur. Moisture advection is shown to increase as the main mid/upper trough transitions east, and a more organized impulse of PVA moves into the region later tonight into Friday along with a cold front later Friday into Friday night. MUCAPE increases across our south-southeast in the warm sector (100-300 J/KG), but mid level lapse rates may still be steep enough for organized showers (moderate) to form. HREF shows a more organized period of showers by Friday morning transitioning quickly east through the day. 6hr probs for QPF 0.25" or more with this round are less than 20%, so we are likely looking at a widespread light rain event with isolated moderate pockets. As the trough moves east it is shown to pass over our CWA as an open wave, with a cold front possibly followed by drier northerly flow which could lead to a sharp cutoff in where any additional precip lingers. There is only a subset of clusters showing a more organized 700MB low and inverted trough close to our MN counties, which will be the determining favor on lingering moderate (brief heavy?) precipitation rates and current trends are showing this towards the east/southeast if it happens (24hr probs for 0.25"+ QPF has decreased as a result of this trend for this weekend). How long this lingers will also determine whether there could be a change over to snow on the back side of the system as CAA increases (probs for 0.5"+ snow are less than 20%). .LONG TERM...(Monday through Thursday) Issued at 308 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 Evolution of the pattern will be back towards shortwave ridging/rising heights later Sunday night into early next week, which should support moderating temperatures and a break in organized precipitation chances. There is decent agreement/clustering in the large scale evolution of this ridge as it transitions east. However, there is still increasing spread regarding the western flank of the ridge and how the pattern evolves aloft. There is a general trend towards west-southwest flow, which could allow for additional precip chances (though the features are subtle/less organized through Tuesday night). There is a signal for another possible organized mid-upper low towards the middle to later part of next week, that could bring better rain chances. There is high variation with 5 different clusters showing different timing/evolution of the pattern in those periods. It will still need to be monitored as at least some potential for higher precipitation amounts (24hr probs of 1"+ QPF of 5-10% Wednesday into Thursday). && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Friday night) Issued at 1026 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 Ceilings are expected to drop into Thursday night to IFR conditions. Showers and thunderstorms are moving into SE ND, and should move north and east in Friday. Winds will shift as a surface trough passes through, shifting to the north and picking up to 10-15 kts sustained into Friday morning and afternoon. && .HYDROLOGY... Issued at 310 PM CDT Thu Apr 13 2023 Temperatures above freezing over the last several days is creating snow melt, with some areas in the southern basin seeing most of the snowpack melted. Temperatures will cool over the next few days slowing the rate of melt with low temperatures dropping below freezing. However, this will be short lived and temperatures will rebound early next week. Overall, this is expected to further ripen the snow pack where it still exists and, with anticipated continued melting, will cause increased flows of water into the rivers. There will be variations as to degree of snow melt depending on how high temperatures will get over the next four to seven days. This will impact rate of rise in many locations, with some rivers responding quickly and other forecast points seeing a delay in rising levels. At this time, precipitation will be limited. However, if rainfall occurs later over the next few days, it will have an impact on && .FGF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... ND...None.
