LeeWhat 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 Dec 26, 10:26 AM CST, 1 hour 44 minutes earlier. Its key messages:
- Freezing Rain / Ice Storm event ongoing across parts of eastern ND today.
- This will be a locally damaging icing event for portions of the region.
- Travel will remain difficult or in some areas impossible today in the ice storm area. Power outages are ongoing in parts of eastern ND and tree damage is likely.
- An additional 0.10 to 0.25 inch of ice is likely from the Grafton/Grand Forks area southwest to Valley City.

.KEY MESSAGES...
- Freezing Rain / Ice Storm event ongoing across parts of
eastern ND today.
- This will be a locally damaging icing event for portions of
the region.
- Travel will remain difficult or in some areas impossible today
in the ice storm area. Power outages are ongoing in parts of

&&
.UPDATE...
Issued at 1000 AM CST Tue Dec 26 2023
Significant impacts from icing continue across portions of
eastern North Dakota into northwest Minnesota, and are expected
to continue throughout the day into this evening.
As of 10 am this morning, icing of more than 0.2 inches have
been reported from near Grand Forks into southeast North Dakota,
with highest reported accretions between 0.5 - 1.0 inches in
southeast North Dakota between Fargo, Valley City, and Lisbon.
We've also received reports of road closures, with maintenance
road crews having a difficult time keeping up with icing in
highest ice areas, impossible travel, and power outages from
power lines down. In portions of southeast North Dakota
generally west of the Red River Valley, reports of around a
quarter of select county's population are without power. More
details on reports of icing impacts can be found from our Local
Storm Reports as we receive them.
Currently, air and surface temperatures have warmed above
freezing in the Fargo-Moorhead area, with current temperature
profile more or less expected to remain steady state today. With
this in mind, main areas for continued and additional impacts
due to icing (conditional upon precip falling) are most likely
to reside along and west of a line from near Gwinner in Sargent
County ND, Lisbon in Ransom County ND, Casselton in Cass County
ND, Hillsboro in Trail County ND, Fisher in western Polk County
MN, Thief River Falls in Red Lake County MN, toward near
Baudette in Lake of the Woods MN.
Moisture feeding into the area from the east via warm
conveyor/TROWAL will remain relatively in place today, with
even some increase in precip rates possible toward midday as
enhanced convergence along an occluded front moves closer to our
area from the south.
Morning guidance from 12Z models suggest over 50% chance in
receiving an additional 0.25 - 0.40 inches through today and
tonight.
Another aspect of note is the flooding potential. Our area has
received between 1-2 inches of liquid precipitation, with the
southern Red River Basin receiving the brunt of this. With
frozen soils in some areas, we are noticing an increase
response in rivers. We are currently coordinating with the North
Central River Forecast Center on possible forecasts and/or other
possible products for river points in the southern Red River
Basin.
Some good news: METRo model forecasts suggest there may be a
brief window during midday where road temperatures reach above
freezing, perhaps helping road maintenance efforts. Although
this window is short lived with surface temperatures dipping
below freezing again near and after sunset again tonight.
Ultimately this is not enough to deviate any messaging on our
end.
UPDATE...
Issued at 627 AM CST Tue Dec 26 2023
Winds have turned more due north in the last few hours in the
north valley and KGFK in the last hour did drop about 1.5
degrees F. Will look at hourly temps and may need to adjust a
tad. Otherwise rain and freezing rain to continue...heaviest
rates of both remain in the Fargo to Valley City areas.
&&
.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 336 AM CST Tue Dec 26 2023
Area of freezing rain and rain continues to move from east to
west across the area. Surface low was about at its farthest
north location earlier Monday evening when it was near Mitchell
SD. It will be moving south into north central Kansas today and
north-northeast winds will diminish. Upper low will remain in
place in northeast Kansas this morning but wobble east along
with surface low into northeast Missouri Wednesday afternoon.
Water vapor shows the plume of moisture for the precipitation
this morning starting to get cutoff as dry air aloft spread
north and east of the upper low. Moisture feed is from western
Pennsylvania to SW Ontario then west thru northern MN into
eastern SD. This moisture feed will gradually diminish this aftn
into tonight and drop south as dry air cuts off precipitation to
this system in our area.
No changes to any headlines will be made this early morning.
Radar has shown heaviest precip since midnight in SE ND west of
Fargo thru Valley City area and lighter north. North edge of
precipitation is from Warroad to Hallock to Devils Lake and
doubt too much farther north it will get. Thus far north fcstd
area along the border will remain dry Pembina to north of Cando.
Temperatures 32 degree line is from Baudette to Crookston to
Mayville to Casselton to Forman. This line will likely stay
nearly stationary today. Could edge a tad west into Grand
Forks with 32-33 degree temp possible today in town.
Precpitation continues and probs of ice accumulation of more
than 0.25 inch from 12z Tues thru tonight in the 10 to 25
percent range for most areas from Grand Forks to Valley City.
Probs for more than 0.10 inch of ice is 70 pct or greater from
SW of Grand Forks to Valley City thru tonight.
From Wahpeton to Fargo to Crookston to Baudette and east rain
today with minimal additional icing impacts. Will leave current
headlines as is as still residual road impacts. Will leave ice
storm warning area as is too and keep Clay and Norman which was
added last evening as icing on trees remains quite significant.
Entire system moves out Wednesday with lingering pops
diminishing in southern fcst area. Little additional impacts
anticipated Wednesday. For tonight will let dayshift monitor and
discuss areas that may need to see headlines go beyond 6 pm
tonight.
Beyond this system...quiet thru the weekend. Temperatures remain
well above normal as normal highs now are in the upper teens. So
highs upper 20s to upper 30s significantly warmer than normal.
Saturday will see a cold front drop south and a progressive 500
mb low dropping through the area. Could see some spotty light
snow with this according to 00z ECMWF but GFS ensembles support
a bit more northeast track and dry conditions. Will maintain NBM
dry conditions. Temps will cool a bit this weekend with highs in
the 20s.
