Hydrologist Mike Lukes, at the National Weather Service in Grand Forks, says the Red River Basin, in most parts, is "more on the low side of normal" - although a major storm could change that.
An updated outlook is expected next week.
For the rest of Minnesota, the chances of serious flooding from snowmelt also are low.
Twin Cities weather service hydrologist Jim Husaby says this winter had less snow than normal, and last fall's heavy rains had time to soak into the ground or flow down rivers.
But Husaby says that could change if there are April rains.
