Some Areal Flooding Possible Today (Updated 730 AM CST 12/14)

A powerful weather system moving through the region today will continue to bring moderate to heavy rainfall across south central and portions of southeast Wisconsin this morning. As low pressure moves northeast across southern and east central Wisconsin today, the moderate to heavy rainfall will gradually taper off.

So far, about one to two inches of rain has fallen across southern Wisconsin. Total rainfall amounts, including the rain from Sunday through this afternoon, will generally be in the 1.50 to 2.50 inch range. The highest amounts will be across mainly south central Wisconsin.

Here are maps showing the expected additional rainfall amounts across southern Wisconsin, and all of Wisconsin, into this afternoon:

Given the already wet ground conditions across this area, and the expected rainfall, area rivers should rise above bankfull to minor flood stage early this week. In addition, low lying and urban areas may see some minor areal flooding develop through this afternoon.

Thus, a Flood Watch remains in effect for south central and portions of southeast Wisconsin into this afternoon. This is generally along and west of a Beloit, to Jefferson, to Mayville, to Sheboygan line.
