A couple of our forecasters along with several hydrologists from the @NWSncrfc visited the Thompson Hydro facility yesterday! Through this visit, we were able to build relations that help maintain public safety along the St. Louis River system. Thank you @mnpower for the tour!

Neat weather phenomenon alert 🚨 A lake breeze circulation formed around the vast expanse of flood waters along the Red River north of Grand Forks. Notice how a line of cumulus clouds forms just east of the "lake" and then treks east through the afternoon. #ndwx #mnwx
