Flood impact starting to show

Flood Warnings are now posted for portions of eleven counties directly located along the Red River in North Dakota and Minnesota.

Snowmelt runoff is starting to enter the river system.

Fargo is expected to reach 33 feet by the end of next week. Flood stage is 18.
The Red Lake River at Crookston is forecast to climb to just over 19 feet in the coming days before slowly falling. Flood stage is 15.

Grand Forks Emergency Manager Kari Goelz told county commissioners this week that overland flooding will probably have more of an impact than river flooding.

MNDOT has closed Highway 9 south of Ada (MN) near the Wild Rice River due to water over the road.  Traffic speeds are reduced on a stretch of I-94 near Oriska (ND) due to water on the road.
