.Another round of thunderstorms this afternoon and evening will pose
a threat for heavy rain. This could cause additional chances for
flash flooding, rises on area creeks and streams, and will likely
exacerbate ongoing river flooding across portions of Southwest and
Central Wisconsin. Given the saturated soils across much of this
area from previous rain events over the past few days, additional
rainfall could create hazardous conditions.
