.DISCUSSION...MAIN SWATH OF LOW CLOUDS FROM WEST CNTRL MN INTO WC
WISC. AREAS FROM MOX TO MSP AND POINTS SWD ARE MAINLY SCT-BKN WITH
ENOUGH INSOLATION TO START FIRING STORMS. EXCELLENT CORRELATION OF
SFC OBS AND VISIBLE IMAGERY BOTH NICELY SHOWING LOCATION OF WARM
FRONT A LITTLE NORTH OF FORT DODGE AT 19Z. SAID FRONT HAS BEEN
MOVING NWD ABOUT 30 MPH AND THE FIRST SVR WX REPORTS HAVE COME IN TO
FSD CWA. EXPECT A BUSY AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS WARM FRONT LIFTS
INTO SRN MN. SUSPECT IT WILL REACH RWF/FBL LINE EARLY EVENING. 18Z
KMPX SOUNDING SHOWS IT WILL BE A LITTLE WHILE BEFORE SVR STORMS CAN
DEVELOP INTO THE METRO.

HAVE BEEN MULLING A FLOOD WATCH AND PER COORD WITH ARX...WILL DO SO.
MID LEVEL WEAKENESS IN WINDS SUGGESTS STORMS MAY BACKBUILD AND WITH
SUCH HIGH WATER CONTENT...THINK IT WISE TO GO WITH WATCH OVER RAIN
