It was another stormy night filled with thunder and lightening. One bolt came down, only a few blocks from here, with a deafening bang that set off all the car alarms outside and brought me from a deep sleep to full attention.
It's all quiet now but there's another round on the way for this afternoon and tonight that could, again, produce heavy rain. The National Weather service says we can expect the possibility of more road closures, flooded basements, rising rivers and evacuations.
The Mississippi River, here in La Crosse, was at 8.3 feet yesterday morning and, with more rain to come, the forecast calls for a possible flood stage by next weekend. Bankfull stage is 10 feet.
MORE STORMS ON THE WAY TODAY.
MORE STORMS ON THE WAY TODAY.
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING MORE HEAVY RAIN ARE EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP TODAY, MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
ANOTHER 1/2 TO
1 INCH OF RAIN IS POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH LOCALLY 2 INCHES
OR MORE IF THUNDERSTORMS REPEATEDLY TRACK ACROSS THE SAME AREA.
A FEW OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING COULD PRODUCE
DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.
