Scattered severe storms capable of large to very large hail, severe wind gusts, and a few tornadoes will be possible across the central Plains this evening. Heavy to excessive rainfall may bring a flooding threat from the Great Lakes to the Mid-South through tonight. Hot, dry and windy conditions will continue to bring a critical fire weather threat from the Southwest into the Great Basin. Read More >
Overview
Moderate to heavy rainfall impacted southern Wisconsin evening Monday evening into Tuesday, with light icing towards central Wisconsin. The rain brought widespread flooding to portions of southern Wisconsin, as the water had very little place to go given the frozen ground. Area rivers swelled out of their banks as well, with some reaching moderate flood stage or higher. Slick stretches of roadway continued into Wednesday as temperatures dropped below freezing area-wide.Rain and Ice
