Weather Summary

Weather Underground Forecast for Tuesday, May 21, 2013.

After a devastating severe weather day in the Plains on Monday, severe weather is expected to fire up again across the nation's mid-section again on Tuesday.

The nearly stationary low over the Northern Plains will gradually weaken as it shifts eastward into the Midwest on Tuesday, while the system's associated cold front trails southwestward from the low across the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the Southern Plains. Favorable energy and conditions ahead of the cold front combined with the moisture laden conditions of the nation's mid-section will set the stage for multiple clusters of thunderstorms to develop from the Midwest into the Ozarks and the Southern Plains. Portions of northeastern Texas, extreme southeastern Oklahoma, central and southern Arkansas, and northwestern Louisiana are at moderate risk of severe thunderstorm activity as environmental conditions remain favorable for tornadoes, damaging wind gusts, and very large hail. Areas surrounding this moderate risk region from the parts of central and eastern Texas into the Upper Great Lakes are at slight risk of severe thunderstorm development with hail, damaging wind gusts, and isolated tornadoes.

Meanwhile, areas of heavy rain and widely scattered showers will continue near the low in the Northern Plains and Upper Mississippi Valley and near and to the north of a nearly stationary frontal boundary extending out ahead of the system from the Great Lakes into the Northeast. Continued precipitation in already saturated areas of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will maintain flood concerns from parts of North Dakota into northern Wisconsin.

Elsewhere, scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to persist in the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern corner of the nation.

Areal Flood Warning
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 9:47 PM CDT on May 20, 2013

The National Weather Service in La Crosse has issued a

* Flood Warning for...
Fillmore County in southeast Minnesota...
Howard County in northeast Iowa...
Mitchell County in north central Iowa...
Mower County in southeast Minnesota...
northern Floyd County in north central Iowa...
southern Olmsted County in southeast Minnesota...

* until 1000 am CDT Tuesday

This extends the previous warning.

Flooding is ongoing in much of these areas. Creeks and smaller
branches of the root... upper Iowa and Cedar rivers in the region
have all had flooding. While the water level has receded in
some areas... it remains high for most that impacts roads.

Many secondary roads are still under water or too heavily damaged to
travel on. Highway 9 west of Osage Iowa remains closed due to
surface washout. Some basements were also impacted from high
rainfall rates on Sunday.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding. If flash flooding is observed act quickly. Do
not enter the water. Turn around and move up to higher ground to
escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when
water begins rising.

Public Information Statement
Mobile & Email Alerts Statement as of 7:51 PM CDT on May 21, 2013

... Safety rules for severe thunderstorms...

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch or warning has been issued by the
National Weather Service. The following tips are being provided
while the watch or warning is in effect.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for the
development of severe weather in and close to the watch area. If you
are in the watch area... monitor weather conditions closely. These
storms can develop rapidly so there may be occasions when advanced
warning is not possible.

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning means a severe thunderstorm has been
observed or indicated by radar. If you are near or in the path of
this storm... take immediate actions to protect life and property.
Follow these safety rules.

In open country... you should seek shelter and avoid trees which can
be targets for lightning. If there is no shelter... go to a ditch or
culvert but beware of rising water or flash flooding.

When indoors... stay away from windows and go to an interior room.

In Mobile homes... you should leave and seek a nearby safe shelter.

If swimming or on a boat... move to shore as quickly as possible and
find shelter.

A thunderstorm is considered severe when it contains one inch or
larger diameter size hail or wind gusts of 58 mph or greater. A
severe thunderstorm may contain a combination of these two elements
as well as very heavy rain and deadly lightning.

Remember... with some severe thunderstorms there is the possibility
of tornadoes.
