Too much, too little
Posted at 7:01 AM on January 26, 2009
by Craig Edwards
This graphic posted last week from the Midwest Climate Center shows the soil moisture deviation in the upper Midwest. Notice the two disparities between the very wet region across the Red River Valley and dry conditions around the Twin Cities and Rochester.
Currently, the National Weather Service is projecting a ninety percent probability that the Red River of the North will reach major flood stage of thirty feet in Fargo. This is a very early outlook. The forecast verification is highly determined by spring snow melt, additional late winter snowfall adding to the water content and spring rainfall.
Grand Forks Hydrologic Outlook
Officials will be meeting regularly, beginning this week, to monitor the conditions and plan preparedness strategies.
No sloppy snowstorms in the immediate offing for our region.
