HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE BISMARCK ND
407 PM CDT SUN JUN 2 2013

...MORE HEAVY RAIN AND RENEWED FLOODING POSSIBLE OVER PORTIONS OF
WEST AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA MONDAY AND TUESDAY...

ADDITIONAL FLOODING PROBLEMS...SUCH AS MORE WATER OVERTOPPING
COUNTY AND TOWNSHIP ROADS...MAY OCCUR AGAIN THIS WEEK AS NUMEROUS
LOCATIONS STILL HAVE LINGERING HIGH WATER FROM THE RECENT HEAVY
RAIN. FLOODING OF COUNTY/TOWNSHIP ROADS...AND SOME STATE HIGHWAYS...IS
ONGOING...INCLUDING DUNN AND WARD COUNTIES. HIGH WATER LEVELS ALSO
CONTINUE ON MANY SMALLER RIVERS AND CREEKS...INCLUDING THE KNIFE
RIVER AND TRIBUTARIES...AND THE PIPESTEM CREEK NEAR PINGREE IN
STUTSMAN COUNTY. RENEWED RISES OR DELAYED FALLS ARE POSSIBLE FROM
THE UPCOMING RAIN.

SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO
SOUTHWEST NORTH DAKOTA LATE TONIGHT. RAIN WILL THEN SPREAD NORTH AND
EAST THROUGH THE DAY MONDAY...WITH PERIODS OF MODERATE TO
OCCASIONALLY HEAVY RAIN PERSISTING THROUGH TUESDAY.  WIDESPREAD 1
TO 2 INCH AMOUNTS...AND PERHAPS AROUND 3 INCHES...WILL FALL THROUGH
TUESDAY...ESPECIALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF INTERSTATE 94. WITH SOILS
NEARLY SATURATED IN MANY LOCATIONS DUE TO RECENT RAINS...THERE
WILL BE AN INCREASED POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING THIS WEEK. WIDESPREAD FLASH
FLOODING WILL LIKELY NOT BE AN ISSUE DUE TO THE RELATIVE LACK OF
INSTABILITY...MEANING FEWER THUNDERSTORMS AND LESS CHANCE FOR
EXTREME RAINFALL RATES.

REMEMBER...NEVER CROSS FLOODED ROADS.
