987 WGUS83 KARX 021603 FLSARX Flood Statement National Weather Service La Crosse WI 1103 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 ...The Flood Warning continues for the following rivers in Iowa... Wisconsin...Minnesota... Mississippi River at Lansing affecting Crawford, Houston, Vernon and Allamakee Counties. Mississippi River at Lake City affecting Pepin, Goodhue and Wabasha Counties. Mississippi River at Guttenberg Dam 10 affecting Clayton and Grant Counties. Mississippi River at La Crosse affecting La Crosse, Houston and Vernon Counties. Mississippi River at McGregor affecting Clayton, Crawford, Grant and Allamakee Counties. Mississippi River at Winona affecting Buffalo, Winona and Trempealeau Counties. Mississippi River at Wabasha affecting Buffalo and Wabasha Counties. .Precipitation estimates from last nights rain show two distinct axes of heavier precipitation, with light amounts around a half an inch for most. The first heavy axis of roughly 1.5 to 2 plus inches of rain fell along a line from Austin, Minnesota through La Crosse towards the Dells which fell across the Cedar, Root, La Crosse, Kickapoo, and Wisconsin River basins. The Cedar River routes into the Mississippi below our area, which will play no role in the Mississippi crest forecasts through Guttenberg. The Root River routes into the Mississippi below La Crosse, which will impact locations from Genoa southward. The Kickapoo and Wisconsin Rivers flow into the river at McGregor, which brings the most uncertainty into the forecast. Timing the routing from the Root and Wisconsin River at the same time has led to an increase in the forecast for McGregor and Guttenberg. The second heavy axis fell along a line from Oelwein east northeast through Grant County. This axis of rain will flow into the Turkey, Grant, and Platte River basins, which route into the Mississippi below Guttenberg and will only play a minimal role for the forecast there. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Caution is urged when walking near riverbanks. Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Additional river and weather information is available at www.weather.gov/lacrosse. The next statement will be issued late tonight at 1215 AM CDT. && IAC005-MNC055-WIC023-123-030515- /O.CON.KARX.FL.W.0038.000000T0000Z-000000T0000Z/ /LNSI4.1.ER.240630T0955Z.240705T0600Z.000000T0000Z.NO/ 1103 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 ...FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE... * WHAT...Minor flooding is occurring and minor flooding is forecast. * WHERE...Mississippi River at Lansing. * WHEN...Until further notice. * IMPACTS...At 18.2 feet, Lock and Dam 9 goes out of operation. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 10:15 AM CDT Tuesday the stage was 17.5 feet. - Bankfull stage is 17.0 feet. - Recent Activity...The maximum river stage in the 24 hours ending at 10:15 AM CDT Tuesday was 17.5 feet. - Forecast...The river is expected to rise to a crest of 18.2 feet early Friday morning. - Flood stage is 17.0 feet. - Flood History...This crest compares to a previous crest of 18.1 feet on 04/23/1952. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood && LAT...LON 4361 9127 4357 9122 4328 9101 4321 9109 4331 9126 $$ MNC049-157-WIC091-030515- /O.CON.KARX.FL.W.0036.000000T0000Z-240707T1200Z/ /LKCM5.1.ER.240627T0845Z.240701T0330Z.240706T1800Z.NO/ 1103 AM CDT Tue Jul 2 2024 ...FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL SUNDAY MORNING... * WHAT...Minor flooding is occurring and minor flooding is forecast. * WHERE...Mississippi River at Lake City. * WHEN...Until Sunday morning. * IMPACTS...At 17.0 feet, Structures on the lower end of Deer Island in Pepin area begin to flood.
