Just when we thought the flooding was over with in the valley, potential heavy rain in the next few days has promted the National Weather Service to a Flood Warning for the Red River at Fargo and Wapheton.

From the National Weather Service:
Heavy rainfall is becoming more likely for Monday night through Wednesday, as a moisture laden, slow moving low pressure system affects the Northern Plains. It appears the southern Red River Valley should receive from 2-3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts. This would cause rises on area rivers, and cause Fargo to remain above flood stage.

As of Monday afternoon, NWS has a projected high level of 24.4ft. This, of course, is not as serious as the flooding experienced this spring, however a river level this high does impact several bridges and roads in the area. We will pass along the latest updates as they develop.
