Weather
In this Weather Wednesday we explore why spring is a colder season.
Our region had already packed in a pretty good winter before Christmas, but we've been gifted a second helping of winter just since February 14.
In the northern valley, the Red River is expected to crest sometime next week, with more northern locations like Drayton and Pembina seeing crests in early May.
After two shots of moisture expected this week, forecasters predict drier weather next week as rivers continue to rise from the spring snowmelt.
Tulare Lake was the largest lake in America west of the Mississippi, but it was drained away by 1900.
The flooding Red River continues its slow rise. Fargo officials are expecting the crest, still more than a week away, will come in between 32 feet and 35 feet.
Highway 81 is closed from Minto to North Dakota Highway 17 in Grafton.
Even the color of things matter.
Clouds change the radiative heat transfer process.
Late this past week, as very warm air moved over our region, the landscape became a maze of mini climates.
Minnesota State Patrol Sgt. Jesse Grabow said it's important for a person to stay calm if they end up in a water-filled ditch this flood season.
