.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.

.OVERVIEW...
THIS RIVER FORECAST IS BASED ON THE SNOW MELT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL
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.
