[Rain fell on the 27th into the 28th over portions of northwest Minnesota.  The Mayville, ND, radar showed most of the precipitation centered over the Devils Lake basin in North Dakota, with lesser amounts falling across northwest Minnesota.  Exact rainfall amounts were hard to come by, as many field observers did not have their raingauges up yet.  Also, the NDAWN (NDSU) precipitation network was not active.  This network is usually not activated until early April.  Therefore, the only amounts reported were generally from official NWS cooperative observers, who are not a very dense network (usually about 1 per county).  These cooperative observers reported amounts from a quarter inch up to nearly an inch.  0.79 inches was reported at the cooperative weather station in Roseau, MN.  Being late March, soil surface and subsurface temperatures were around and mostly below freezing.  Areas along and north of US Highway 2 still had some snow cover, which was readily apparent on visible satellite imagery in the days leading up to this event.  The warm rain falling on top of snow led to even more water being released.  Snow depths and water equivalents are usually performed by official NWS cooperative observers every monday in the spring, while there is still snow on the ground.  On the previous monday (the 22nd), the Agassiz Refuge (in eastern Marshall county) reported a snow water equivalent of 2.75 inches and Thorhult (in northwest Beltrami county) reported a snow water equivalent of 2.01 inches.  Some melting had occurred in the days leading up to March 27th, but most of this water was still in place as ice or snow.  Snow depths on the 27th ranged from a trace to 6-12 inches from the Agassiz Refuge to Norris Camp (in Lake of the Woods county).  Along with the frozen ground temperatures, river channels in the area still had their winter ice covering left, which led to an increased ice jam threat.  Snow and ice also clogged culverts and drainage ditches.  Temperatures on the 27th were above freezing, mostly in the 40s, while southeast ND rose into the mid 60s.  Temperatures stayed above freezing until the morning of the 29th, but even this was too late to slow the moving water.]  In Kittson county, a river flood warning was issued for the Two Rivers River at Hallock.  Hallock crested just over its moderate (806 feet) flood stage on the 29th.  Crests at Drayton and Pembina along the Red River occurred in early April.  State highway 11 to the Drayton bridge was closed by high water.  In Lancaster, one home had to sandbag due to a closed culvert.  Overall, the county engineer estimated $50,000 in road damages.

[See antecedent conditions written in brackets under Ramsey county].  For Grand Forks county, a river flood warning was issued for the Turtle River at Manvel.  Manvel peaked around 18.5 feet on the 31st, not as high as the record event which occurred in April 1950.  Many problems occurred around Emerado, mostly due to overland flooding.  The road to a mobile home park was initially flooded, cutting off access to the homes in the park.  The Grand Forks Sheriff then issued a voluntary evacuation order for the entire town of Emerado.  Water levels then rose in the park, mostly damaging the skirts of the mobile homes.  42 homes were damaged in Emerado, producing about $705,000 dollars of the total damage estimate for Grand Forks county.  The Northwood Golf Course was inundated by the upper reaches of the Goose River.  The south end of Arvilla had basement and street flooding.  The Midway School (6 miles southwest of Forest River) was also threatened by overland flooding and water seepage.  Classes were cancelled until the water levels receded.  US Highway 81 was closed from Manvel to Grafton.
