N.D. (AP) – Heavy rain over the weekend set records in North Dakota. The National Weather Service says Bismarck, Dickinson, Jamestown, Minot and Grand Forks all set rainfall records for the date on Sunday, with an inch or more. Bismarck’s record had stood since 1877.

The Bismarck National Weather Service says about 3.25 inches fell in Jamestown and 10 miles west of Jamestown about 3.55 inches of rain fell over a two day period. Bismarck received a record 3.50 inches of rain combined between Saturday and Sunday.

Grand Forks National Weather Service says about 1.10 inches of rain fell Saturday into Sunday in the Valley City area.

Rain is continuing to fall, and the weather service has posted a flood watch for western and central North Dakota through Monday night. There is the potential for overland flooding and rises in some creeks and rivers.

Water remains on Interstate 94 near Jamestown, and traffic speeds are reduced. The water swept two semitrailers off the road on Sunday. No injuries were reported.
