.OVERVIEW...
THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS SUNDAY NIGHT
AND INTO TUESDAY. AT THIS TIME...WE ARE EXPECTING A POTENTIAL RAIN EVENT
SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY... ALTHOUGH RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHT
WITH A COUPLE OF TENTHS OF AN INCH. BY TUESDAY...RAIN WILL CHANGE TO
SNOW AND LINGER INTO WEDNESDAY. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS
SEVERAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS ARE HINTING AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS.
A SNOW EVENT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RUN OFF INTO THE RIVERS AS WOULD
BE THE CASE WITH A RAIN EVENT. 

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT...AND HOW
MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS COMBINED TOTAL WATER
WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE COLDER AIR MOVES
INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEK.

ANY ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN HIGHER 
THAN PREDICTED.  THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR THIS 
DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

.THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT. HOWEVER THE EXPECTED
PRECIPITATION BEGINNING SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS NOT INCLUDED IN 
THESE FORECASTS.

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT 
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND THE 
SECOND ANTICIPATED FOR  TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE SYSTEM ON SUNDAY 
NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY WILL FALL AS RAIN. AT THIS TIME RAINFALL AMOUNTS 
LOOK LIGHTER WITH AMOUNTS BETWEEN TWO TENTHS AND FOUR TENTHS OF AN INCH 
COMMON. HOWEVER ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE POTENTIAL OF 
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL 
WISCONSIN. ON TUESDAY...RAIN WILL INITIALLY BE COMMON BUT CHANGE TO SNOW 
MAINLY NORTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. 
AREAS SOUTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY TAKE A FEW HOURS LONGER TO 
SWITCH TO ALL SNOW...MEANING MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION RECEIVED IN THOSE 
AREAS WILL BE LIQUID. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS SEVERAL OF 
THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS ARE HINTING AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. HOWEVER AN 
INCH OF LIQUID PRECIPITATION...WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS 
POSSIBLE.  A SNOW EVENT WOULD BE A MORE OPTIMISTIC SOLUTION THAN A RAIN 
EVENT AS IT WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY RUN OFF INTO THE CREEKS...STREAMS...AND 
EVENTUALLY INTO THE RIVERS. 

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
MONDAY...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS 
COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE 
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEK.

THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST 
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON SUNDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE  THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY 
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN 
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR 
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TWIN CITIES/CHANHASSEN MN
807 PM CDT SAT MAR 19 2011

...FORECAST FLOODING CHANGED FROM MINOR TO MODERATE SEVERITY FOR THE 
FOLLOWING RIVERS IN MINNESOTA...
  MINNESOTA RIVER AT MONTEVIDEO AFFECTING CHIPPEWA...LAC QUI PARLE...
  RENVILLE AND YELLOW MEDICINE COUNTIES

.THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT. HOWEVER THE 
EXPECTED PRECIPITATION BEGINNING SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS NOT 
INCLUDED IN THESE FORECASTS.

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND THE
SECOND ANTICIPATED FOR  TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE SYSTEM ON SUNDAY
NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY WILL FALL AS RAIN. AT THIS TIME RAINFALL 
AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHTER WITH AMOUNTS BETWEEN TWO TENTHS AND FOUR TENTHS
OF AN INCH COMMON. HOWEVER ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE
POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PARTS 
OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ON TUESDAY...RAIN WILL INITIALLY BE COMMON
BUT CHANGE TO SNOW MAINLY NORTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR TUESDAY NIGHT 
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. AREAS SOUTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY
TAKE A FEW HOURS LONGER TO SWITCH TO ALL SNOW...MEANING MUCH OF THE 
PRECIPITATION RECEIVED IN THOSE AREAS WILL BE LIQUID. PRECIPITATION 
AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS SEVERAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS ARE HINTING
AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. HOWEVER AN INCH OF LIQUID PRECIPITATION...WHICH
INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE.  A SNOW EVENT WOULD BE A 
MORE OPTIMISTIC SOLUTION THAN A RAIN EVENT AS IT WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY 
RUN OFF INTO THE CREEKS...STREAMS...AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE RIVERS. 

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
MONDAY...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS 
COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEK.

THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON SUNDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

.THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT. HOWEVER THE 
EXPECTED PRECIPITATION BEGINNING SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY IS NOT 
INCLUDED IN THESE FORECASTS.

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY AND THE
SECOND ANTICIPATED FOR  TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE SYSTEM ON SUNDAY
NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY WILL FALL AS RAIN. AT THIS TIME RAINFALL 
AMOUNTS LOOK LIGHTER WITH AMOUNTS BETWEEN TWO TENTHS AND FOUR TENTHS
OF AN INCH COMMON. HOWEVER ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE
POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PARTS 
OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ON TUESDAY...RAIN WILL INITIALLY BE COMMON
BUT CHANGE TO SNOW MAINLY NORTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR TUESDAY NIGHT 
INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING. AREAS SOUTH OF THE I-94 CORRIDOR WILL LIKELY
TAKE A FEW HOURS LONGER TO SWITCH TO ALL SNOW...MEANING MUCH OF THE 
PRECIPITATION RECEIVED IN THOSE AREAS WILL BE LIQUID. PRECIPITATION 
AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS SEVERAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS ARE HINTING
AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. HOWEVER AN INCH OF LIQUID PRECIPITATION...WHICH
INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE.  A SNOW EVENT WOULD BE A 
MORE OPTIMISTIC SOLUTION THAN A RAIN EVENT AS IT WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY 
RUN OFF INTO THE CREEKS...STREAMS...AND EVENTUALLY INTO THE RIVERS. 

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
MONDAY...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS 
COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA NEXT WEEK.

THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 PM ON SUNDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

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.

IS EXPECTED TO BE THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE ON TUESDAY BEFORE 
SWITCHING OVER TO SNOW LATER TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY IN
HOW WARM TEMPERATURES WILL BE...SO A CHANGE IN THE RAINFALL OR SNOWFALL
FORECAST IS POSSIBLE AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES. WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION 
FALLS AS EITHER RAIN...SNOW...OR AS A MIXTURE...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL 
FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION TO FALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND 
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ISOLATED HIGHER 
AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY ACROSS 
SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS WELL. 
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS SEVERAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS
ARE HINTING AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. HOWEVER AN INCH OF LIQUID 
PRECIPITATION...WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE.  

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL POSSIBLY IMPACT THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK 
INTO THE WEEKEND...AND PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN 
AT THIS TIME.

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
TUESDAY...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS 
COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK.

THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON MONDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

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.

  REDWOOD RIVER NEAR REDWOOD FALLS AFFECTING REDWOOD COUNTY 
  COTTONWOOD RIVER AT NEW ULM AFFECTING BLUE EARTH...BROWN AND 
  NICOLLET COUNTIES 
  MINNESOTA RIVER AT NEW ULM AFFECTING BLUE EARTH...BROWN AND 
  NICOLLET COUNTIES 
  MISSISSIPPI RIVER NEAR HASTINGS L/D 2 AFFECTING DAKOTA...
  WASHINGTON AND PIERCE COUNTIES 

.THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON WARM TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT FEW 
DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT. IN ADDITION...RAINFALL
OCCURRED LAST NIGHT INTO THIS MONRING WHICH ADDED SOME WATER TO THE BASINS.
HOWEVER THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION BEGINNING LATE MONDAY THROUGH 
WEDNESDAY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE FORECASTS.

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEK AND INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED FOR TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS 
SYSTEM PRESENTS A COMPLICATED FORECAST AS IT WILL INVOLVE A MIXTURE OF 
RAIN AND SNOW. SNOWFALL WOULD BE THE IDEAL PRECIPITATION TYPE AS IT WOULD 
NOT GET INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS AS QUICKLY AS RAINFALL.  HOWEVER...RAINFALL 
IS EXPECTED TO BE THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE ON TUESDAY BEFORE 
SWITCHING OVER TO SNOW LATER TUESDAY NIGHT. THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY IN
HOW WARM TEMPERATURES WILL BE...SO A CHANGE IN THE RAINFALL OR SNOWFALL
FORECAST IS POSSIBLE AS THE SYSTEM APPROACHES. WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION 
FALLS AS EITHER RAIN...SNOW...OR AS A MIXTURE...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL 
FOR A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION TO FALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND 
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ISOLATED HIGHER 
AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS ON TUESDAY ACROSS 
SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS WELL. 
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS COULD CHANGE AS SEVERAL OF THE ATMOSPHERIC MODELS
ARE HINTING AT DIFFERENT SCENARIOS. HOWEVER AN INCH OF LIQUID 
PRECIPITATION...WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE.  

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL POSSIBLY IMPACT THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK 
INTO THE WEEKEND...AND PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN 
AT THIS TIME.

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
TUESDAY...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND HOW MUCH OF THIS 
COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS...BEFORE
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK.

THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON MONDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

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.

.THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT.  IN 
ADDITION...SIGINIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE UPPER 
MIDWEST BEGINNING TONIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THESE RIVER 
FORECASTS ONLY TAKE 24 HOUR PRECIPITATION FORECASTS INTO ACCOUNT...SO ANY 
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS AFTER 7AM TOMORROW WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THESE 
FORECASTS. 

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS 
SYSTEM PRESENTS A COMPLICATED FORECAST AS IT WILL INVOLVE A MIXTURE OF 
RAIN AND SNOW. SNOWFALL WOULD BE THE IDEAL PRECIPITATION TYPE AS IT WOULD 
NOT GET INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS AS QUICKLY AS RAINFALL.  HOWEVER...RAINFALL 
IS EXPECTED TO BE THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE ON TUESDAY BEFORE 
SWITCHING OVER TO SNOW LATER TUESDAY NIGHT FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. 
CONFIDENCE IN TEMPERATURES HAS LEAD TO HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN SEEING MORE RAIN 
THAN SNOW FOR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN...WHILE THE NORTHERN 
HALF OF MINNESOTA SEES MORE SNOW.  WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION FALLS AS EITHER 
RAIN...SNOW...OR AS A MIXTURE...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT 
AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION TO FALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AS 
WELL AS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE 
POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA 
AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS WELL. OVER AN INCH OF LIQUID 
PRECIPITATION...WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE FOR MOST AREAS.

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL POSSIBLY IMPACT THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK 
INTO THE WEEKEND...AND PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN 
AT THIS TIME.

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND 
HOW MUCH OF THIS COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER 
SYSTEMS...BEFORE COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK.

AGAIN...THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON TUESDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

NOTE...MOST LOCATION BELOW HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN FORECASTED RIVER LEVEL 
SINCE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...THIS IS DUE TO THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION THROUGH 
7AM TOMORROW.  ADDITIONAL RISES ARE POSSIBLE WITH FUTURE FORECASTS AS THOSE WILL 
INCLUDE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS BEYOND 7AM TOMORROW.

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.

.OVERVIEW...
THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON ABOVE FREEZING TEMPERATURES OVER THE NEXT 
FEW DAYS...THAT WILL RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT SNOW MELT.  IN 
ADDITION...SIGINIFICANT PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE UPPER 
MIDWEST BEGINNING TONIGHT AND LASTING THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THESE RIVER 
FORECASTS ONLY TAKE 24 HOUR PRECIPITATION FORECASTS INTO ACCOUNT...SO ANY 
PRECIPITATION THAT FALLS AFTER 7AM TOMORROW WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN THESE 
FORECASTS. 

THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL IMPACT THE UPPER PLAINS IN THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS WITH THE FIRST EXPECTED TONIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY. THIS 
SYSTEM PRESENTS A COMPLICATED FORECAST AS IT WILL INVOLVE A MIXTURE OF 
RAIN AND SNOW. SNOWFALL WOULD BE THE IDEAL PRECIPITATION TYPE AS IT WOULD 
NOT GET INTO THE RIVER SYSTEMS AS QUICKLY AS RAINFALL.  HOWEVER...RAINFALL 
IS EXPECTED TO BE THE PRIMARY PRECIPITATION TYPE ON TUESDAY BEFORE 
SWITCHING OVER TO SNOW LATER TUESDAY NIGHT FOR MOST OF SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. 
CONFIDENCE IN TEMPERATURES HAS LEAD TO HIGHER CONFIDENCE IN SEEING MORE RAIN 
THAN SNOW FOR SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN...WHILE THE NORTHERN 
HALF OF MINNESOTA SEES MORE SNOW.  WHETHER THE PRECIPITATION FALLS AS EITHER 
RAIN...SNOW...OR AS A MIXTURE...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR A SIGNIFICANT 
AMOUNT OF PRECIPITATION TO FALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AS 
WELL AS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. ISOLATED HIGHER AMOUNTS MAY OCCUR WITH THE 
POTENTIAL OF THUNDERSTORMS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL MINNESOTA 
AND PARTS OF WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN AS WELL. OVER AN INCH OF LIQUID 
PRECIPITATION...WHICH INCLUDES RAIN AND SNOW AMOUNTS IS POSSIBLE FOR MOST AREAS.

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL POSSIBLY IMPACT THE REGION NEAR THE END OF THE WEEK 
INTO THE WEEKEND...AND PRECIPITATION LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF SNOW AND RAIN 
AT THIS TIME.

SIGNIFICANT UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT THROUGH 
THE FIRST HALF OF THE WEEK...AND HOW MUCH RAIN AND SNOW WILL FALL...AND 
HOW MUCH OF THIS COMBINED TOTAL WATER WILL ACTUALLY MAKE IT INTO THE RIVER 
SYSTEMS...BEFORE COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK.

AGAIN...THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT 24 HOURS OF FORECAST
PRECIPITATION...HENCE THROUGH 7 AM ON TUESDAY. SO THESE FORECAST DO NOT 
INCLUDE THE PRECIPITATION EVENT EXPECTED TO IMPACT THE AREA ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON
AND WEDNESDAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL MAY CAUSE RIVER LEVELS TO RISE EVEN
HIGHER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILL MONITOR
THIS DEVELOPING SITUATION AND ISSUE FOLLOW UP STATEMENTS. 

NOTE...MOST LOCATION BELOW HAVE SEEN A SIGNIFICANT RISE IN FORECASTED RIVER LEVEL 
SINCE THE PREVIOUS FORECAST...THIS IS DUE TO THE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION THROUGH 
7AM TOMORROW.  ADDITIONAL RISES ARE POSSIBLE WITH FUTURE FORECASTS AS THOSE WILL 
INCLUDE EXPECTED PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS BEYOND 7AM TOMORROW.

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.

DAYS AND THE PRECIPITATION RECEIVED OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS INCLUDING 
MONDAY NIGHT AND TODAY. THIS WILL LEAD TO RIVER FLOODING THIS WEEK AND 
THIS WEEKEND.

THE STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RAIN OVER THE PAST
48 HOURS WILL SWITCH THE PRECIPITATION OVER TO SNOW TONIGHT. AS LITTLE
AS A QUARTER INCH AND AS MUCH AS AN INCH AND A HALF HAS BEEN OBSERVED
IN WISCONSIN AND MINNESOTA. AN ADDITIONAL QUARTER TO THREE QUARTERS OF
AN INCH IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT...HOWEVER...MUCH OF THIS SHOULD FALL IN THE
FORM OF SNOW.

UNCERTAINTY REMAINS ABOUT HOW MUCH SNOW WILL MELT WITH THE COOLER 
TEMPERATURES COMING IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. LOW TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK
ARE EXPECTED TO FALL WELL BELOW FREEZING. THIS MAY SLOW THE RUNOFF
SLIGHTLY.

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.

.OVERVIEW...
THESE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND 
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK. SINCE THEN THE REGION 
HAS REMAINED DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY BUT A SYSTEM
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST ON THURSDAY. AT THIS 
TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH LIGHTER 
AMOUNTS OF TYPICALLY 0.25 INCHES AND LESS.

DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS 
TEMPERATURES MODERATE INTO THE LOWER AND MID 40S FOR HIGHS 
AND AROUND FREEZING FOR LOWS.

ANOTHER SYSTEM IS EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY. THERE IS 
A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AND 
ATMOSPHERIC MODELS SHOWING SEVERAL SOLUTIONS. 

WITH A SIGNIFICANT SNOW PACK AND ICE STILL IN PLACE FOR AREAS 
NORTH OF THE MINNESOTA RIVER AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
THE TEMPERATURES AND ANY RAINFALL WILL BE CRITICAL FOR THE 
NEXT WEEK. AT THIS TIME...TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S MAY BE 
BE WARM ENOUGH TO START MELTING THE SNOW PACK...ESPECIALLY
IN THE CROW RIVER SYSTEM AND TRIGGER SECONDARY RISES.
HOWEVER...THE SNOW PACK IS VERY SATURATED AND A DEGREE OR 
TWO DIFFERENCE IN THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES THAT WE EXPERIENCE
 FROM THE FORECAST TEMPERATURES MAY BE THE DIFFERENCE IN 
THE SNOWPACK BEGINNING TO MELT AGAIN VERSES KEEPING THE 
WATER LOCKED UP. 

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.

.OVERVIEW...
THESE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED ON RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND 
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURRED LAST WEEK. SINCE THEN THE REGION 
HAS REMAINED DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED AGAIN ON WEDNESDAY BUT A LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST ON THURSDAY. AT THIS 
TIME...IT LOOKS LIKE A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW WITH AMOUNTS A QUARTER
OF AN INCH OR LESS. 

DRY CONDITIONS WILL RETURN FOR FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AS 
TEMPERATURES MODERATE INTO THE LOWER AND MID 40S FOR HIGHS 
AND AROUND FREEZING FOR LOWS.

ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY.
THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF UNCERTAINTY WITH THIS SYSTEM AND 
ATMOSPHERIC MODELS SHOWING SEVERAL SOLUTIONS. 

WITH A SIGNIFICANT SNOW PACK AND ICE STILL IN PLACE FOR AREAS 
NORTH OF THE MINNESOTA RIVER AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
THE TEMPERATURES AND ANY RAINFALL WILL BE CRITICAL FOR THE 
NEXT WEEK. AT THIS TIME...TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S MAY BE 
BE WARM ENOUGH TO START MELTING THE SNOW PACK...ESPECIALLY
IN THE CROW RIVER SYSTEM AND TRIGGER SECONDARY RISES.
HOWEVER...THE SNOW PACK IS VERY SATURATED AND A DEGREE OR 
TWO DIFFERENCE IN THE ACTUAL TEMPERATURES THAT WE EXPERIENCE
 FROM THE FORECAST TEMPERATURES MAY BE THE DIFFERENCE IN 
THE SNOWPACK BEGINNING TO MELT AGAIN VERSES KEEPING THE 
WATER LOCKED UP. 


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.

.OVERVIEW...

THE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED ON RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND 
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURRED DURING THE PRIOR WEEK. SINCE THEN THE REGION 
HAS REMAINED DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 

ANOTHER DRY DAY IS ON TAP FOR WEDNESDAY REGION WIDE. A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE 
WILL SWEEP THROUGH MUCH OF THE UPPER MIDWEST THURSDAY INTO EARLY FRIDAY 
MORNING. A RAIN/SNOW MIX IS EXPECTE WITH PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN THE TWO
TO THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH RANGE ANTICIPATED. HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY AND
THURSDAY WILL TOP OUT INTO THE MID 40S...WITH LOW TEMPERATURES TONIGHT
THROTTLING BACK INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S. 

A MUCH STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE UPPER MIDWEST SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL SOME UNCEARTAINTY WITH THE INTENSITY
AND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM...IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER RAIN/SNOW MIX SHOULD
BE ANTICIPATED. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ACROSS SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST
CENTRAL WISCONSIN MAY AVERAGE BETWEEN A QUARTER OF AN INCH TO NEAR ONE HALF
OF AN INCH.  HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE MID TO UPPER 40S WILL BE SEEN ACROSS
THE WARNED AREA ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...WITH A RETURN TO THE MID TO UPPER
30S ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY. LOW TEMPERATURES FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY
MORNING WILL VARY FROM THE UPPER 20S TO MID 30S.

A SIGNIFICANT SNOW ICE PACK IS STILL IN EXISTENCE FOR AREAS NORTH OF THE
MINNESOTA RIVER AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER. AT THIS TIME...HIGH 
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S MAY BE BE WARM ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MODERATE 
MELTING OF THE SNOW AND ICE PACK...ESPECIALLY IN THE CROW RIVER SYSTEM AND 
TRIGGER SECONDARY RISES.  DEW POINTS RISING INTO THE MID 20S TO LOWER
30S WILL ALSO HELP IN BREAKING DOWN THE CURRENT SNOW AND ICE PACK. 


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.

.OVERVIEW...

THE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED ON RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND 
PRECIPITATION THAT OCCURRED DURING THE PRIOR WEEK. SINCE THEN 
THE REGION HAS REMAINED DRY WITH BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. 

A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST FROM
THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. A RAIN/SNOW MIX IS EXPECTED WITH PRECIPITATION
AMOUNTS IN THE TWO TO THREE TENTHS OF AN INCH RANGE. HIGH TEMPERATURES
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WILL REACH THE MIDDLE 30S TO MIDDLE 40S.

A MUCH STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE UPPER MIDWEST 
SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE 
INTENSITY AND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM...IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER RAIN/SNOW
MIX SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ACROSS CENTRAL AND
SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN MAY AVERAGE BETWEEN A
QUARTER OF AN INCH TO AROUND ONE HALF INCH.

A SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE PACK IS STILL IN EXISTENCE FOR AREAS NORTH OF
THE MINNESOTA RIVER AND THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER. AT THIS TIME...HIGH 
TEMPERATURES IN THE MID 40S MAY BE BE WARM ENOUGH TO PRODUCE MODERATE 
MELTING OF THE SNOW AND ICE PACK...ESPECIALLY IN THE CROW RIVER SYSTEM 
AND TRIGGER SECONDARY RISES.  DEW POINTS RISING INTO THE MIDDLE 20S TO
LOWER 30S WILL ALSO HELP IN BREAKING DOWN THE CURRENT SNOW AND ICE PACK. 

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.

THE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED ON RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND

INCH. 
A BRIEF COLD PERIOD IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY WARMING

BY JUST HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION FALLS AS RAIN AND HOW MUCH FALLS AS SNOW...AND 
HOW LONG IT STAYS COLD. 

A SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE PACK IS STILL IN ON THE GROUND NORTH OF THE

.OVERVIEW...
THE RIVER FORECASTS ARE BASED ON RUNOFF FROM THE SNOW MELT AND
PRECIPITATION THAT HAS OCCURRED DURING THE LAST SEVEN DAYS.

A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST TODAY...
TONIGHT AND FRIDAY. A MIX OF RAIN AND SNOW MIX IS EXPECTED WITH TOTAL
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS IN THE TWO TENTHS TO THREE TENTHS INCH RANGE.
HIGH TEMPERATURES TODAY AND FRIDAY WILL GET INTO THE MID 30S TO MID 40S.

A MUCH STRONGER STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE UPPER MIDWEST LATE
THIS WEEKEND SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE IS STILL UNCERTAINTY WITH
THE INTENSITY AND TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM...IT APPEARS THAT ANOTHER MIX
OF RAIN AND SNOW SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED. PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS ACROSS CENTRAL
AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN COULD BE A WIDESPREAD HALF
INCH.
A BRIEF COLD PERIOD IS EXPECTED ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY FOLLOWED BY WARMING
TEMPERATURES ON WEDNESDAY.

THE COMPLICATING FACTORS FOR THE NEXT FORECAST PERIOD WILL BE GREATLY AFFECTED
BY JUST HOW MUCH PRECIPITATION FALLS AS RAIN AND HOW MUCH FALLS AS SNOW...AND
HOW LONG IT STAYS COLD.

A SIGNIFICANT SNOW AND ICE PACK IS STILL IN ON THE GROUND NORTH OF THE
MINNESOTA RIVER AND OVER THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

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

.OVERVIEW...
MANY RIVERS...STREAMS AND CREEKS REMAIN FLOODED ACROSS THE WARNED 
AREA...WITH MANY AREAS STILL EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL RISES BASED ON
INCOMPLETE SNOW MELT AND RUNOFF FROM RECENT PRECIPITATION OVER THE 
PAST WEEK. SOME RIVERS HAVE CRESTED...BUT RUNOFF WAS NOT COMPLETE
WHICH WILL LEAD TO ONGOING FLOODING FOR SOME TIME.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE...MORE WEATHER SYSTEMS ARE EXPECTED TO BRING 
A FEW CHANCES OF RAIN FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH 
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE THURSDAY NIGHT OVER THE SOUTH HALF OF MINNESOTA. 
ON THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY...THE STORM SYSTEM CONTINUES TO LEAN FURTHER 
SOUTH...MEANING MUCH OF CENTRAL MINNESOTA WILL RECEIVE LITTLE OR NO 
RAINFALL. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL LOOKS TO OCCUR OVER FAR SOUTHERN 
MINNESOTA...BUT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS LOOK TO BE RELATIVELY LIGHT...WITH 
AMOUNTS GENERALLY NEAR OR LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH. THE BEST CHANCE 
FOR A WIDESPREAD RAIN EVENT...INCLUDING THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED ON 
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. AS THIS TIME...RAINFALL AMOUNTS LOOK TO RANGE FROM 
ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF AN INCH OVER THE WEEKEND. HOWEVER...LOCALLY 
HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE IN THUNDERSTORMS. THIS PRECIPITATION 
FORECAST WILL BE CONTINUOUSLY UPDATED AND MONITORED...AS SOME 
DISAGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MODELS DOES EXIST AT THIS TIME.

ANY MORE PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY HAVE SOME IMPACT ON RIVER LEVELS
OVER THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO.

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

.OVERVIEW...

SOME LOCATIONS ALONG THE MINNESOTA RIVER REMAIN IN FLOOD...WHILE OTHER 
CREEKS...STREAMS...AND RIVERS ACROSS THE REGION REMAIN NEAR BANK FULL. 
THE WATER LEVELS ARE RECEDING ACROSS THE AREA...BUT ADDITIONAL 
PRECIPITATION IS FORECAST TO IMPACT THE UPPER MIDWEST THIS WEEK.

A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL EJECT FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TODAY...MOVE 
THROUGH THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...AND BEGIN SPREADING PRECIPITATION 
INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TONIGHT. AT THIS TIME...FORECAST 
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS CALL FOR NEAR AN INCH OF LIQUID FOR MUCH OF SOUTH 
CENTRAL...AND EASTERN MINNESOTA...AS WELL AS WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE 
CURRENT RIVER FORECAST ONLY TAKES FORECAST PECIPITATION INTO ACCOUNT 
THROUGH 7AM TOMORROW MORNING. MUCH OF THE PRECIPITATION FROM THIS SYSTEM 
IS EXPECTED TO FALL AFTER 7AM TOMORROW...SO IT IS NOT YET ACCOUNTED FOR 
IN THE CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS. HOWEVER...THE PRECIPITATION BEYOND 7AM 
TOMORROW MORNING WILL LIKELY NOT MAKE MAJOR IMPACTS OR CHANGES TO THE 
CURRENT RIVER FORECASTS. THE AREAS MOST VULNERABLE TO THE ADDITIONAL 
PRECIPITATION ARE THE SMALL FAST RESPONDING CREEKS AND STREAMS...WHILE 
LARGER RIVERS WILL SEE A SLOWER RESPONSE FROM ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION 
INTO THE SYSTEM.

ANOTHER SYSTEM LOOKS TO IMPACT THE UPPER MIDWEST AT THE END OF THE WEEK.

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