Favorable Snow Melt Conditions this Week

2019 Spring Flood Outlook

A quiet week weather wise is in store. A brief warm up mid week before cooling a bit late week. This along with no precipitation will make for favorable snow melt conditions, in that it will be gradual and not rapid. As we go through the week, be sure to monitor river levels.

Major flooding is expected along the mainstem Red River with moderate to major flooding along the tributaries. Note that future temperatures and precipitation will still play a role in the magnitude of flooding the area will experience this spring.
