Severe Weather: Strong to severe thunderstorms are again possible this afternoon and evening. Strong winds, hail, and very heavy rain can be expected. 

 

Flooding: Heavy rainfall is expected across parts of east-central Wisconsin. Some places could see additional amounts of 1-2 inches. The heavy rain falling in a short period of time will lead to some areas of urban and rural flooding. If you are in a flood prone area, be prepared for rapidly changing conditions.
