Fast moving storms dumped heavy rain and gusty winds over northern portions of the Red River Valley this morning. The National Weather Service issued a series of Severe Thunderstorm Warnings as the system headed northeast at 60 mph.
Grand Forks police say the heavy rains flooded numerous streets resulting in stalled cars both on the road and in parking lots. The downpour also filled ditches and left farm fields with standing water.
The NWS says preliminary estimates suggest between one inch and 1.75 inches of rain fell over the Grand Forks area in just 45 minutes.
A FLOOD ADVISORY has been posted until 10:45 a.m.
