...Rain Changing to Snow Tonight...
.A strong storm system will move northeast through the region
today through Sunday. Rain will overspread the area today, but
temperatures will start to fall tonight as the storm system moves
into northeast Iowa. The colder temperatures will help change rain
to snow across portions of Minnesota, mainly near and west of I-35
during the evening hours. The changeover to snow will likely occur
during heavier periods of precipitation, so snowfall rates will
exceed a half inch per hour at times. Accumulations in the
advisory area, which extends from near Redwood Falls and New Ulm
northeast through Hutchinson, Princeton, and Mora, will range
from 1 to locally 5 inches. At this time, it appears that the
primary impacts will be primarily west and north of the Twin
Cities metro area. In addition to the snowfall, northeast winds
of 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts will become northwest by Sunday
morning.

...RISING WATER LEVELS ON LOCAL RIVERS, STREAMS, AND CREEKS ARE
EXPECTED THIS WEEKEND...
A low pressure system lifting towards the Upper Great Lakes will
bring a few rounds of light to at times moderate precipitation,
mostly falling in the form of rain, today through Sunday. Around
one inch of rainfall is expected, with the potential for some
locations to see locally higher totals. With snow still on the
ground, especially across the Lake Superior snowbelts, this
expected precipitation will aid in releasing water within the
snowpack. This added water on top of the expected rain will
further enhance runoff into local river, streams and creeks.
Those who live along or near rivers, streams, or creeks should
monitor water levels closely. Ponding of water on roadways and in
low-lying areas will also be possible.

...WEEKEND RAIN TO BRING RISING RIVER LEVELS...
A strong storm system will move from the central Plains into the
Great Lakes region this weekend. Several rounds of rain can be
expected, with amounts reaching 1 to 1.5 inches. This amount of
precipitation falling on already saturated grounds, will lead to
runoff into area rivers and streams.
Portions of the Wolf and Oconto Rivers are already at minor flood
stage. Portions of the Wisconsin, Menominee, Embarrass and
Peshtigo Rivers are forecast to rise above bankfull later this
weekend, and could also reach minor flood stage.
In addition to rising water levels, ponding on area roads, urban
areas and low-lying areas may also occur.
Residents who live near rivers or streams should closely monitor
water levels in upcoming days and be prepared to seek higher
ground if flooding becoming imminent.

and additional snowmelt will continue rises on area rivers and
streams into next week. The mainstem Mississippi River at Aitkin
and Fort Ripley could approach minor flood stage next week. Those
with interests along area rivers and streams should continue to
monitor the latest conditions and forecasts.
