.OVERVIEW...

RUNOFF FROM RAINFALL RECEIVED LAST WEEK WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT RIVER 
LEVELS ON THE MINNESOTA AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERS AND THEIR TRIBUTARIES.

CRESTS HAVE BEEN LOWERED AS CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED ON HOW THE WATER IS 
MOVING THROUGH THE FLOOD PLAINS OF THE MINNESOTA RIVER DOWNSTREAM FROM 
SAVAGE AS THE FLOOD CREST HAS ALREADY OCCURRED FROM SHAKOPEE...UPSTREAM 
TO REDWOOD FALLS.

ESSENTIALLY THE LUSH VEGETATION WHICH IS NOT IN THE RIVER DURING THE 
SPRING FLOODS...HAS HELPED TO SLOW DOWN HOW QUICKLY THE WATER IS MOVING
THROUGH THE RIVER VALLEY. THIS SLOWING EFFECT IS ALLOWING FOR LOWER 
AND BROADER CRESTS. SO THE WATER IS STILL SHOWING UP JUST OVER A 
LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

DO NOT DRIVE CARS THROUGH FLOODED AREAS.  TURN AROUND...DON'T DROWN.

...THE FLOOD WARNING CONTINUES FOR THE FOLLOWING RIVERS IN 
MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN...

  REDWOOD RIVER NEAR REDWOOD FALLS AFFECTING REDWOOD COUNTY 

  COTTONWOOD RIVER AT NEW ULM AFFECTING BLUE EARTH...BROWN AND 
  NICOLLET COUNTIES 

  MINNESOTA RIVER AT MANKATO AFFECTING BLUE EARTH AND NICOLLET

  WASHINGTON COUNTIES 

  MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR HASTINGS AFFECTING DAKOTA...WASHINGTON 
  AND PIERCE COUNTIES 

  SOUTH FORK CROW RIVER BELOW MAYER AFFECTING CARVER COUNTY 

  SOUTH FORK CROW RIVER AT DELANO AFFECTING WRIGHT COUNTY 

.OVERVIEW...

RUNOFF FROM RAINFALL RECEIVED LAST WEEK WILL CONTINUE TO IMPACT RIVER 
LEVELS ON THE MINNESOTA AND MISSISSIPPI RIVERS AND THEIR TRIBUTARIES.

CRESTS HAVE BEEN LOWERED AS CONFIDENCE HAS INCREASED ON HOW THE WATER IS 
MOVING THROUGH THE FLOOD PLAINS OF THE MINNESOTA RIVER DOWNSTREAM FROM 
SAVAGE AS THE FLOOD CREST HAS ALREADY OCCURRED FROM SHAKOPEE...UPSTREAM 
TO REDWOOD FALLS.

ESSENTIALLY THE LUSH VEGETATION WHICH IS NOT IN THE RIVER DURING THE 
SPRING FLOODS...HAS HELPED TO SLOW DOWN HOW QUICKLY THE WATER IS MOVING
THROUGH THE RIVER VALLEY. THIS SLOWING EFFECT IS ALLOWING FOR LOWER 
AND BROADER CRESTS. SO THE WATER IS STILL SHOWING UP JUST OVER A 
LONGER PERIOD OF TIME.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

DO NOT DRIVE CARS THROUGH FLOODED AREAS.  TURN AROUND...DON'T DROWN. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO OR YOUR LOCAL RADIO OR TV STATION 
FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS FLOOD EVENT.
