...PERIODS OF FLOODING POSSIBLE ALONG AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS
THROUGH NEXT WEEK...

TEMPERATURES THROUGH NEXT WEEK ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
CONTINUED MELTING OF THE SNOW PACK. WITH PLENTY OF FROST STILL
IN THE GROUND...MUCH OF THE SNOW MELT WILL RUN OFF INTO AREA RIVERS
AND STREAMS...POSSIBLY RESULTING IN FLOODING. SOME RIVERS OF CONCERN
INCLUDE THE WHITEWATER AND ZUMBRO RIVERS IN MINNESOTA AS WELL AS THE
BUFFALO...BLACK AND TREMPEALEAU RIVERS IN WISCONSIN.

IN ADDITION TO THE SNOW MELT...PERIODS OF RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED...
WHICH WILL ONLY INCREASE THE POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING. ONE SUCH PERIOD
OF RAINFALL WITH AMOUNTS OF UP TO A HALF INCH IS ANTICIPATED TONIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. LOOKING FARTHER AHEAD...THERE ARE SOME INDICATIONS OF
A MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINFALL EVENT TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

INTERESTS ALONG AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS WINONA AND WABASHA
COUNTIES IN MINNESOTA...AS WELL AS BUFFALO...TREMPEALEAU...
JACKSON...CLARK AND TAYLOR COUNTIES IN WISCONSIN SHOULD CONTINUE TO
MONITOR FORECASTS THROUGH NEXT WEEK FOR POSSIBLE WATCHES AND
WARNINGS.
