How We Track Flooding For This Area (56590)
This page tracks live flooding alerts, radar updates, and nearby warnings for 56590. This specific location's boundary is used to focus the map, compare active National Weather Service alert polygons, and calculate exactly how far nearby flooding threats are from this area.
Geographic Data Used For This Location
The following location-specific geographic values are utilized for tracking flooding threats to this area. The internal point and bounding box summarize the location area, while the full geometry coordinate set is used to construct the actual boundary shown on the map and to perform our precise tracking calculations.

Location Boundary Data Source
For ZIP code pages, this website uses Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area data. ZCTAs are Census geographic areas that approximate ZIP code service areas for mapping and statistical use. Extreme Weather Tracking processes this geographic data into lightweight location-specific boundary files. The full coordinate geometry from each boundary file is used to draw the exact geographical area on our live map and compare that area against active weather alert polygons.

How Flooding Threat Distances Are Calculated For This Location
The distance values shown in the "Closest Flooding Threats" table — and used to trigger our browser-based alarm — represent the approximate edge-to-edge distance in miles between the 56590 boundary area and each active National Weather Service alert polygon. A distance of 0 miles means the alert polygon overlaps or is contained within the tracked location boundary.
Distances are not calculated from a single center point or internal point coordinate. Instead, the full boundary geometry of 56590 — the same coordinate set used to draw the location boundary on the map — is compared against the full polygon geometry of each active weather alert. This means a flooding warning that is close to the edge of 56590 but not overlapping it will show a short but non-zero distance, while one that crosses into the boundary area will show 0 miles.
Live Flooding Tracking — FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
How severe does flooding need to be to appear on this live map?
This flooding tracking page is configured to display NWS alert polygons for Flash Flood Statements, Flash Flood Warnings, Flood Advisories, Flood Statements, Flood Warnings, Coastal Flood Advisories, Coastal Flood Statements, Coastal Flood Warnings, Lakeshore Flood Advisories, Lakeshore Flood Statements, Lakeshore Flood Warnings, and Storm Surge Warnings. Ordinary rain or wet conditions generally will not appear as flooding polygons unless they are included in one of those NWS alert types.
Is the entire area of each flooding alert polygon actively underwater?
Not necessarily. A flooding alert polygon shows the official NWS warning, advisory, or statement area. It does not necessarily mean every point inside the polygon is currently underwater, submerged, or experiencing the same flood depth. It means the area is affected by, threatened by, or being monitored for the flooding hazard described in the alert text.
Are all the roads on the map which are inside of the flooding alert polygons currently undriveable?
Not necessarily. A road inside a flooding alert polygon is not automatically underwater or closed. Flooding conditions can vary sharply by drainage area, elevation, road design, creek crossings, low-water bridges, and recent rainfall. Users should treat the full alert area around 56590 with caution, read the full NWS alert instructions, and follow official local guidance about road closures, evacuation notices, and travel restrictions.
Does this map show exact flood depth or water level at each location?
No. This page displays NWS flooding alert polygons, live radar imagery, alert timing, warning text, and distance from the selected location. It does not provide precise flood depth, stream gauge readings, or road-by-road water level measurements inside each polygon.
What should I use if I want to track tornadoes, thunderstorms, or broader severe weather near 56590?
This page is focused specifically on live flooding tracking for 56590. To monitor other severe weather categories for this same location, use the related pages for live tornado tracking, live thunderstorm tracking, or the broader live severe weather tracking map.
Weather Data Sources, Radar Processing, & Severe Weather Tracking Methodology
Extreme Weather Tracking uses official United States weather datasets as raw input data for this severe weather tracking application. Instead of simply embedding external weather maps or republishing raw alert feeds, this website processes, transforms, organizes, filters, and visualizes multiple live weather datasets into a location-focused interactive severe weather monitoring system.
National Weather Service (NWS) Alert Processing
Severe weather alerts, warning polygons, event timing, and alert details are sourced from the National Weather Service. Extreme Weather Tracking processes this live alert data into interactive map overlays, categorized alert layers, color-coded polygon systems, stacked overlapping-alert interfaces, closest-threat calculations, browser-based alarm functionality, and location-specific severe weather tracking pages.
Raw NWS polygon coordinate data is transformed into customized interactive map layers with dynamically assigned styling rules, warning-category filtering, active/expired alert handling, polygon overlap detection, popup interfaces, category-specific visual grouping systems, zoomable map interactions, and quick-navigation links that can automatically focus and zoom the map toward specific severe weather threats near each page's dedicated geographical location. Alert polygons are also compared directly against tracked location boundaries to calculate approximate edge-to-edge severe weather threat distances for the specific location.
NOAA Radar Data Processing
Radar imagery displayed on this website is based on NOAA MRMS (Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor) weather radar datasets. Instead of directly embedding static NOAA radar images, Extreme Weather Tracking downloads raw NOAA radar reflectivity data, processes the binary radar grid values, converts the reflectivity measurements into custom-generated radar imagery, and builds optimized radar overlay layers for use within the interactive map system.
The radar processing pipeline includes decompressing NOAA GRIB2 radar datasets, exporting raw reflectivity grids, interpolating radar values, converting reflectivity intensities into customized radar color mappings, generating optimized PNG radar image chunks, and constructing radar overlay layers aligned to precise geographic coordinate boundaries. These processed radar layers are then combined with live NWS warning polygons and tracked location boundaries within the interactive map interface.
Weather Data Sources
Extreme Weather Tracking is not an official government weather service. Always follow instructions from the National Weather Service, local emergency management officials, and other official safety authorities during severe weather events.
