ANOTHER STRONG WET FRONT IS EXPECTED FOR THE PANHANDLE LATE
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY NIGHT. FREEZING LEVELS ARE ALREADY HIGH
AND SOIL AND RIVER CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY PRIMED FROM THE LAST
FRONT EARLIER THIS WEEK. THE NEW FRONT WILL PUSH SNOW LEVELS EVEN
HIGHER (4000 TO 5000 FT) AND ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IS EXPECTED (1 TO
3 INCHES MORE THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT) THAT WILL ADD MORE
SNOWMELT. THE HIGHEST RAIN AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED IN THE NORTHERN
HALF OF THE PANHANDLE AND WILL START LATE WEDNESDAY NIGHT. RIVER
AND STREAMS WILL GET A CHANCE TO RECOVER WEDNESDAY NIGHT BEFORE
THE RAINFALL WITH THE NEXT FRONT STARTS TO PUSH INTO THE AREA.
THIS RAINFALL AND SNOWMELT MAY CAUSE AREA WATERWAYS TO RISE
QUICKLY AGAIN AND MAY ALLOW THEM TO RISE INTO BANKFULL CONDITIONS
DUE TO ALREADY SATURATED SOILS FROM THE LAST STORM. LOCALIZED
FLOODING DUE TO DRAINAGE ISSUES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE LATE THIS WEEK.
