Flood Warning issued March 7 at 3:33PM CST until March 10 at 1:00PM CDT by NWS Bismarck ND

River ice continues to affect water levels along the Yellowstone
and Missouri Rivers west of Williston. Less runoff along the
Yellowstone in Montana will eventually cause lower water levels in
North Dakota as ice blockages resolve themselves.

* WHAT…Flooding caused by ice jams is expected.

* WHERE…The Missouri and Yellowstone River flood plains in
southwest Williams and northwest McKenzie Counties.

* WHEN…Until 100 PM CDT /noon MDT/ Monday.

* IMPACTS…Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
and flood-prone locations is expected. Depending on ice behavior,
any release of the ice jam could result in sudden rises of water,
leading to a rapid flooding of low lying areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– At 329 PM CST /229 PM MST/, Emergency Management continued to
report ice jams moving downstream towards the warned area.
Flooding is expected in low-lying areas over the coming days.
– Some locations that will experience flooding include…
The Yellowstone and Missouri River flood plains near
Williston, Fort Union Trading Post, East Fairview, and Fort
Buford State Historical Site.
