Bismarck (CSi)\u00a0 The National Weather Service has issued the Flood and Water Resources Outlook…<\/p>\n
This probabilistic Spring Flood and Water Resources outlook is for
\nthe Missouri and James River basins of North Dakota and covers
\nthe period of late May through late August.<\/p>\n
The following message has four sections. The first provides some text
\non the highlights of this outlook and conditions affecting the local
\nhydrology. The second section gives the current and normal\/historical
\nrisks of flooding as determined by the Ensemble Streamflow Forecast
\nmodel of the National Weather Service. The third section gives the
\ncurrent probabilities for reaching flood stage at the listed forecast
\nlocations. And finally, the fourth section covers the risk of the
\nriver sites falling below the listed stages.<\/p>\n
…Flood Outlook Highlights…
\nThis outlook contains the probabilities for reaching flood stage
\nat the forecast points within the Missouri and James River basins
\nof North Dakota. Due to recent widespread and heavy rainfall, what
\nhad been seasonally below normal probabilities for flooding are
\nnow much closer to normal as recent rains now occupy a good
\nportion of the soil column’s capacity to hold water.<\/p>\n
…Current Conditions…
\nDespite recent widespread and heavy rains, rivers tend to remain near
\nthe low end of normal. Recent rains have brought soil moisture levels
\ninto the normal, but not excessively wet range over the past couple of
\nweeks.<\/p>\n
…Weather Outlook…
\nThe month of May has generally seen scattered rainfall totals with no
\nreally large areas being either exceptionally dry or excessively wet.
\nIn the near term 6-10 and 8 – 14 day outlooks the expectation is for
\nabove normal temperatures and below normal precipitation once the
\ncurrent wet pattern subsides. This transitions into a generally equal
\nchance for above normal, near normal, or below normal precipitation and
\ntemperature pattern for June with the three month outlook suggesting a
\nslightly enhanced chance for above normal temperatures while retaining
\nthe equal chance for precipitation.<\/p>\n
