... SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR A LARGE PORTION
ON WESTERN WISCONSIN AS WELL AS ADJACENT AREAS OF MINNESOTA
UNTIL 10 00 PM CDT THIS EVENING ...

AT 8 00 PM CDT WEATHER RADAR SHOWED A LINE OF MODERATE AND
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING FROM 30 MILES NORTHEAST OF
LA CROSSE .. WEST TO ROCHESTER MINNESOTA .. THEN SOUTH TO
MASON CITY IOWA.  THIS LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING
SLOWLY TO  THE SOUTHEAST AT 5 TO 10 MPH.

NO SEVERE WEATHER HAS BEEN REPORTED  ..  HOWEVER THE COMBINATION
OF HEAVY TO VERY HEAY RAINFALL AND THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE LINE
OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY CREATE FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS
AS WELL AS LOW LYING AREAS.

OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS NUMEROUS AREAS OF WESTERN WISCONSIN HAVE

RECIEVED OVER TWO INCHES OF RAINFALL.  THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
AND ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT NOW LOCATED OVER NORTHERN IOWA WILL
MOVE SLOWLY TO THE EAST INCREASING THE RISK OF MINOR FLOODING
OVERNIGHT.
