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.

Remember, if you come upon a flooded roadway...Turn Around, Do Not Drown!

 

Make sure you follow the forecast and have a way to get the latest weather information, including any watches or warnings. If you are planning outdoor activities on land or water in the risk area, have alternate plans in place, including knowing where the nearest sturdy shelter is, in the event severe weather threatens your area.
