Event:
Flood Watch
Urgency:
Future
Effective:
April 16, 2026 - 10:53am
Expires:
April 17, 2026 - 3:00am
Description:
Another round of storms is expected to impact the area again
tomorrow afternoon and evening. Increased moisture across the area
will allow these storms to be efficient rainfall producers as they
move through. There is potential for repeated rounds of activity,
especially east of the Mississippi, where significant rainfall has
already occurred this week. With soils already saturated and plenty
of ponding across southwest and central Wisconsin, any additional
rainfall will significantly increase the potential for flash
flooding or areal flooding.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, southwest, and west central
Wisconsin, including the following counties, in central Wisconsin,
Adams and Juneau. In southwest Wisconsin, Crawford, Grant,
Richland and Vernon. In west central Wisconsin, Monroe.
* WHEN...From Friday afternoon through Saturday morning.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Additional rainfall of .5 to 1.5 inches expected across areas
where soils and basins are almost completely saturated from
previous rainfall
