Source for flood information

Posted at 10:03 AM on March 21, 2009 by Craig Edwards


As chief meteorologist for NOAA in the Twin Cities from 1991 to 2006, I worked closely with the staff of both the Remote Sensing Center and the North Central River Forecast Center. We shared office space at NOAA's facility in Chanhassen. I understand the process, the coordination efforts and the tremendous forecast challenge being presented on the Red River.

Thanks to the availability of data on the internet, we are able to plug directly into their information. They are working to deliver the best forecast possible given the collective talents and experience of the forecast staff.

Precipitation is coming! The accuracy of predicting the timing, specific location and amount of moisture is paramount to nailing the crest on the Red River late next week.
