Melting snow is exacerbating the flood risk due to increased runoff.

Why this matters: Flash floods can develop rapidly and pose a significant risk to life and property. Staying informed and taking necessary precautions is crucial during these events.
The National Weather Service has issued flash flood warnings for several counties in Wisconsin due to heavy rainfall and melting snow. Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned areas. Between 1 and 2 inches of rain have already fallen, with an additional 0.5 to 1.5 inches possible. The combination of rain and melting snow is causing rivers and streams to swell, leading to potential flooding of urban areas, highways, and low-lying regions. Affected areas include Green Bay, Sturgeon Bay and other cities. It is important to monitor weather updates and avoid driving through flooded areas. Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or through flooded areas.
