There is an increasing risk of flash flooding as this storm complex moves along the Illinois-Wisconsin border.
If you come around flooded roadways: Turn around, don't drown!
Darlington just hasn't been able to catch a break in the last week. More than 9 inches of rain since last Friday.
Seeing lots of ads promoting apps or services that give precise precipitation measurements for your exact location without a rain gauge.
These systems only provide estimates based on radar and gauge measurements.
The only way to get exact data for your location is a gauge.
A flood watch is now in effect for southern and central Wisconsin for the rest of the day.
A Tornado Watch has been issued for extreme southern Wisconsin until 9 pm.
Madison and Milwaukee are not included in this watch, but if the instability continues northward, they could be added later.
We got some much-needed rain this week, so we should see some improvement on next week's Drought Monitor.
We've already seen a significant improvement in the amount of water available to your plants in the top 8 inches of soil, so you can turn down the irrigation for now.
A wake low has developed on the back side of today's thunderstorm complex. The low can be identified in our data by the rapid pressure falls, low pressure readings, and wind gusts.
We're continuing to watch for redeveloping storms that could produce severe weather later this afternoon.
Extreme southern Wisconsin now has a Level 4/5 risk of significant damaging winds this afternoon.
Areas along and south of I-94/Highway 18 will see the highest chances of severe weather, including gusts of 75 mph or higher. A few tornadoes are also possible.
The worst of the storms are starting to wind down for most of the state, so we wanted to give an update to some of the statistics we've seen.
Quite a few gusts over 40 mph today and some much needed rainfall.
There is an increasing risk of flash flooding as this storm complex moves along the Illinois-Wisconsin border.
