Bismarck (CSi) Mar 2, 2017\u00a0 The National Weather Service has updated the probabilistic Spring Flood and Water Resources outlook.<\/p>\n
The report covers is for the Missouri and James River basins of North Dakota and covers the period of early March through early June.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…Flood Outlook Highlights…<\/p>\n
Unseasonably warm temperatures during the last half of February<\/p>\n
caused much of the deep snow cover that had been present across<\/p>\n
the Missouri and James River basins of North Dakota to melt.<\/p>\n
Significant frost was unable to form underneath the previous snow<\/p>\n
cover during the winter because the first heavy snows arrived<\/p>\n
after an extended, warm fall. As a result, a much larger than<\/p>\n
normal amount of meltwater was able to infiltrate unfrozen ground<\/p>\n
during the last few weeks instead of just running off and entering<\/p>\n
the river systems.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As a result of the significantly depleted snowpack, the overall<\/p>\n
risk of flooding in the Missouri and James River basins of North<\/p>\n
Dakota has decreased substantially since the last outlook.<\/p>\n
However, pockets of remaining deep snow cover are still present<\/p>\n
and are responsible for locally greater probabilities of flooding<\/p>\n
on the Little Muddy River near Williston, Apple Creek near<\/p>\n
Menoken, along the James River above Jamestown Dam, and to a<\/p>\n
lesser extent in the lower reaches of the Knife River basin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It`s important to note that while the rapid decrease in snowpack<\/p>\n
has decreased the flood risk, it remains near normal for this time<\/p>\n
of year because the moisture from the melting snow has resulted<\/p>\n
in wet soil conditions. The potential for future spring rain or wet snow events on top of the wet soils,could lead to flooding, even in areas where<\/p>\n
snow is essentially gone at this point.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…Current Conditions…<\/p>\n
Rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are near to slightly above normal<\/p>\n
for this time of the year, but their current levels provide no<\/p>\n
significant concerns. Snow cover is not uniform across the area.<\/p>\n
There`s virtually no snow cover left in parts of southwestern<\/p>\n
North Dakota, but pockets of deep snow remain, particularly around<\/p>\n
Hazen, in the Apple Creek basin near Menoken, and in the upper<\/p>\n
reaches of the James River above Jamestown Dam. Soil moisture<\/p>\n
remains above normal, in part due to the recent snowmelt.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
…Weather Outlook…<\/p>\n
The near term, 6 to 10 day outlook favors above normal temperatures<\/p>\n
and near normal precipitation across most of the Missouri and James<\/p>\n
River basins of North Dakota. The 8 to 14 day outlook favors near<\/p>\n
normal temperatures and slightly favors above normal precipitation.<\/p>\n
Looking out further, the outlook for the latter part of March and<\/p>\n
the full three-month outlook valid from March through May favors<\/p>\n
near normal temperatures and slightly favors above normal<\/p>\n
precipitation.<\/p>\n
The National Weather Service says the chances of major flooding in the Devils Lake region of northeastern North Dakota remain high. The outlook released Thursday is predicting a 3- to 4-foot rise on Devils Lake, with a 10 percent chance the lake could exceed its record level of 1,454.3 feet in June 2011. Weather service meteorologist Greg Gust says there’s about 10 to 20 inches of heavy, wet snow in the Devils Lake Basin. Trace amounts remain south of Grand Forks.<\/p>\n
The latest spring flood outlook from the National Weather Service shows a greatly reduced chance of flooding in the area where Dakota Access pipeline opponents camped for months in North Dakota. The flood risk had been a concern because of hundreds of tons of trash and debris protesters left behind in the now-closed camp. Authorities shut down the camp last week and launched a major cleanup effort.<\/p>\n
