	Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 2:47 PM CDT on March 16, 2010 ... Flood Watch in effect from Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon... The National Weather Service in Grand Forks has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of northeast North Dakota and southeast North Dakota... including the following areas... in northeast North Dakota... Benson... Cavalier... eastern Walsh County... eddy... Grand Forks... Nelson... Pembina... Ramsey... Towner and western Walsh County. In southeast North Dakota... Barnes... Griggs... Ransom... Sargent... Steele and Traill. * From Wednesday afternoon through Friday afternoon * high temperatures in the 40s to around 50 are expected Wednesday and Thursday. This will help melt some of the remaining snowpack and could cause areas of overland flooding. * Areas that are typically susceptible to ponding of water during the Spring snowmelt could see water starting to pond again. Road closures in low areas are also possible. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
