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.
