Overview
Two main rounds of rain and thunderstorms moved across southern Wisconsin from September 6th through the 7th. Two day rainfall totals were mainly in the 1 to 3 inch range, though some locations received up to 7 inches of rain! This heavy rain led to some localized flooding in locations such as Mayville, Milwaukee, West Allis and Rock Springs.
