We are in a general weather pattern the last couple weeks where there is going to be, every few days, a weather system moving across the Northern Great Plains. So rain is likely not only Monday night and Tuesday, but late Thursday night and Friday from the next system. So it's an active weather pattern.

We had snow events on Feb. 24 and March 1 along the northern-border counties. So suddenly, over the course of about two weeks, we've thrown another inch to an inch-and-a-half of moisture into that.

At this point, even additional snow or a light rain would not change it too much.

Once we get a significant warm spell, we could see a lot of water start to pool in the fields and ditches.

It's at crest, but that crest is going to take several hours.

It should come in after the crest in the southern areas, which is good news. If we get significant rain into the northern part of the basin, it could affect crest values.

Snowfall estimates tapered off fairly quickly to the south of this band.

The mainstream Red River probably would not rise if we get rain, but the area of concern is along the northern border.
