The Red and Souris Rivers as well as their tributaries are flooding.
Most gaging locations continue to show rises.
At Grand Forks, North Dakota, the Red River is currently forecast to crest 17.5 feet above flood stage early next week. However, continued heavy precipitation associated with wintry conditions could change this forecast, depending on how much precipitation falls and whether it is liquid or frozen. NWS Grand Forks has been closely coordinating with municipal officials, as a local state of emergency has been declared in the Grand Forks area. Today light to moderate precipitation is expected over much of the Plains, from Texas to the Dakotas and lighter precipitation should fall over parched areas of Arizona and New Mexico. On Saturday, moderate precipitation is expected in eastern Texas and the lower Mississippi River valley, as well as in the northern Plains, including the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin, where wintry conditions will prevail.
