What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Twin Cities, MN wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Jun 18, 6:06 AM CDT, 4 hours 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 6:06 AM CDT, 4 hours 25 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN
606 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

.SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight)
Issued at 408 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Widespread shower and weak thunderstorm activity has continued
through the overnight hours. At 05Z, there were numerous reports
of 1+ inches of 24-hour precipitation; some observation sites,
such as EAU, received 2+ inches. The surface cold front that
provided lift for the convective activity is now positioned over
South Central MN through Northeastern WI this morning, and high
pressure is entering Central MN. The surface boundary is expected
to continue progressing southward through the morning. Drier and
cooler air in the boundary layer will begin filtering in from the
north, while the mid to upper levels remain moist with ridging in
place. We can expect mid to high level cloud cover with high
temperatures this afternoon reaching the upper 70s with dew points
in the upper 50s across the northern portion of the CWA to upper
60s across the Southern MN.

Convection is expected to begin along the surface boundary this
afternoon in Northern IA and move north. So, there are chances for
showers and weak thunderstorms across Southern MN with the best
chances being during the evening. Overnight into Tuesday, the
convective activity is expected to continue with better precip
chances in Central MN as shortwave will aid in convection
development. Precipitable water values today through tonight will
be lower than the weekend, but still high near 1.5-2 inches.
Therefore, a few areas of moderate to heavy rain are possible
through Tuesday morning.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday)
Issued at 408 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

A rather uneventful pattern is expected to develop for the Upper
Midwest starting Tuesday and lasting through the weekend. The
first half of the week will see a ridge axis poking into the area
from the large upper level dome over the southeastern CONUS while
the second half of the week will see an upper level low from the
western CONUS dive southeast and around the region. In addition,
any and all surface fronts will remain to the south of the region.
This will keep deep moisture and strong heating off to the south
as well. Thus, this will all combine to spell only isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms for the first half of the
week, all of a light/non-severe nature. The second half of the
week looks to be drier as the upper low avoids this region.
Chances for precipitation increase around next weekend but nothing
impressive by any means. Temperatures will also remain fairly
steady throughout the week with the lack of any airmass change
behind today's departing cold front. Highs will generally remain
in the 70-80 degree range while lows remain between 55 and 65
degrees.

.AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Tuesday morning)
Issued at 559 AM CDT Mon Jun 18 2018

Widespread rainfall across Southern MN and West Central WI will
become lighter as the morning continues with mostly dry and VFR conditions
expected for the afternoon. Chances for showers & storms increase
from the south today with the best chances being after 00Z Tuesday
in Southern MN.

KMSP... Light rain is expected to come to an end this morning as
ceilings gradually rise and become VFR during the afternoon. Winds
are anticipated to remain out of the NNE for today near 10 kts.
Chances for showers & thunderstorms return early Tuesday.

...VERY HEAVY RAIN AND LOCALIZED MINOR FLOODING EXPECTED THROUGH
530 AM CDT...

AN AREA OF MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WILL AFFECT THE FOLLOWING
COUNTIES...

Chippewa...Eau Claire...

At 428 AM CDT...an area of moderate to heavy rain with a few
embedded thunderstorms will persist over much of Chippewa and Eau
Claire counties, slowly shifting to the east. Around an inch of
additional rainfall can be expected through 530 AM, which may lead
to localized flooding, including ponding of water on roads and
filling of ditches and other low lying areas.

Motorists should use extra caution as heavy rain can significantly
reduce visibility. In addition, water covered roads can be difficult
to see at night and vehicles at higher speeds are easily subject to
hydroplaning.

LOCATIONS IMPACTED INCLUDE...
Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, Altoona, Lake Hallie, Stanley, Bloomer,
Lake Wissota, Augusta, Cornell, Cadott, Fall Creek and Boyd.

This includes the following highways...
 Interstate 94 in Wisconsin between mile markers 62 and 86.
 U.S. Highway 53 between mile markers 86 and 110.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...AS WELL AS FARM AND COUNTRY ROADS. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO TRAVEL ACROSS FLOODED ROADS. FIND ALTERNATE ROUTES.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY
YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
