HYDROLOGIC OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI
416 AM CDT TUE APR 23 2013

...FLOOD THREAT DIMINISHING AS RAINS COME TO AN END AND WERE
LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED...

RAIN THAT FALL ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY NIGHT WAS GENERALLY 2/10 TO
1/2 INCH ACROSS LOCATIONS WEST AND NORTH OF LA CROSSE...WILL LESSER
AMOUNTS TO THE EAST AND SOUTH OF LA CROSSE. THIS IS MUCH LESS RAIN
THAN WAS EXPECTED. THUS THE THREAT OF RENEWED FLOODING ON MOST IF
NOT ALL OF THE RIVERS AND STREAMS AROUND THE AREA HAS DECREASED.

ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS NO LONGER EXPECTED OVER SOUTHEAST
MINNESOTA...NORTHEAST IOWA AND SOUTHWEST INTO CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE
EXCEPTION TO THIS REMAINS THE LOWER REACHES OF THE TREMPEALEAU RIVER
NEAR DODGE WISCONSIN...WHICH MAY STILL CREST JUST OVER FLOOD STAGE
ON FRIDAY.

THIS WILL BE THE LAST OUTLOOK STATEMENT FOR THIS EVENT. ATTENTION
NOW TURNS TO THE WARM-UP THIS WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AND HOW
QUICKLY IT WILL MELT THE REMAINING SNOW PACK ACROSS NORTHERN
WISCONSIN INTO CENTRAL MINNESOTA. RUNOFF FROM THIS SNOW MELT WILL
EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND CREATE RISES AS IT
FLOWS THROUGH THE AREA DURING THE FIRST COUPLE WEEKS OF MAY.
