FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE:

  • ICE STORM WARNING IN EFFECT FROM 3 PM MONDAY TO 6 PM TUESDAY FOR DODGE, FOND DU LAC, AND SHEBOYGAN COUNTIES
  • FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT FOR JEFFERSON, KENOSHA, MILWAUKEE, RACINE, WALWORTH, AND WAUKESHA COUNTIES. 
  • WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM MONDAY TO 6PM TUESDAY FOR WASHINGTON COUNTY.

YOUR STORM TEAM 4CAST:

Heavy rain and temperature fluctuations will bring the threat for flooding in SE Wisconsin and ice in our northern counties for the start of the workweek.  As an area of low pressure lifts NE out of the central Plains into the Midwest, up to 2” of rain will be possible across most of SE Wisconsin which could lead to flooding in some locations. Changes in temperatures Monday evening through Tuesday will lead to times of ice accumulation up to 0.50” mainly north of West Bend to Sheboygan which could bring down tree limbs and power lines.  Highs on Monday will range from the upper 30s to mid 40s.  Highs on Tuesday will range from the 40s to near 50°.

The remainder of the week will be fairly quiet with partly cloudy skies and cooler temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the upper 20s and lower 30s.  Another round of rain looks likely for Friday with the possibility of rain briefly changing over to snow Friday night into Saturday morning.  A switch back to all rain is expected by Saturday afternoon as temperatures climb to near 40°.
