HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
331 PM CDT SUN APR 21 2013

...MORE FLOODING POSSIBLE THROUGH MID-WEEK...

TWO ROUNDS OF PRECIPITATION EARLY THIS WEEK COULD LEAD TO MORE
FLOODING. THE FIRST ROUND WILL FALL AS RAIN...IMPACTING THE REGION
TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. THE SECOND ROUND IS EXPECTED MONDAY
AFTERNOON INTO TUESDAY...AND MAY FALL AS A RAIN AND SNOW MIX MONDAY
NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.

THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL IS EXPECTED TO FALL ACROSS NORTHEAST IOWA AND
SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA INTO NORTH CENTRAL WISCONSIN...WHERE 1 TO 1.5
INCHES OF RAINFALL ARE POSSIBLE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 3/4 TO 1 INCH
ARE EXPECTED ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL WISCONSIN.

THIS RAINFALL WILL LIKELY RUNOFF INTO RIVERS AND STREAMS ACROSS THE
AREA...SINCE THE UPPER LEVELS OF THE SOIL ARE SATURATED FROM RECENT
RAINS AND SNOWMELT. IN ADDITION...AREAS ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL
WISCONSIN STILL HAVE SOMEWHAT FROZEN SOILS WHICH WILL FURTHER
ENHANCE RUNOFF.

SOME RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH AND ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL WOULD LEAD TO RIVER RISES AND POSSIBLE FLOODING. FIELD AND
LOW LAND FLOODING COULD ALSO OCCUR...ESPECIALLY OVER AREAS THAT
STILL HAVE FROZEN SOILS.
