Milwaukee, Wis. – Southeastern Wisconsin faces two more rounds of storms between Monday night and Tuesday evening, bringing the risk of heavy rainfall that could slow the recession of recent flood waters. The first window for showers and thunderstorms is expected tonight into early Tuesday, followed by another round Tuesday afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan, rainfall amounts could exceed 0.5 inches in many areas, with some spots seeing higher totals depending on where storm corridors develop. While flash flooding is not expected, soils remain saturated from recent rains, meaning any additional downpours could keep water levels high in low-lying and poor-drainage areas.
Cities including Milwaukee, Madison, Waukesha, Fond du Lac, and Kenosha are in line for intermittent heavy rain, though storms are expected to be progressive rather than stationary. Drivers should remain alert for ponding on roads, especially during Tuesday’s evening commute, and residents in flood-prone neighborhoods should monitor water levels.
The weather service advises that conditions will improve late Tuesday night, but more rainfall could delay full recovery in affected areas.
