POOR DRAINAGE AREAS REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 800 AM CDT FOR WALWORTH
AND ROCK COUNTIES...

AT 434 AM CDT DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO INDICATE SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS MOVING ACROSS SOUTHERN WISCONSIN. THE HEAVIEST RAINS
WERE OCCURRING MAINLY ALONG AND SOUTH OF A LINE FROM BARVEVELD TO
LAKE GENEVA. THESE STORMS WERE MOVING ALONG AT ABOUT 30 MPH. HOWEVER
THESE STORMS HAD RAINFALL RATES AS HIGH AS AN INCH PER HOUR AND IN
ISOLATED CASES EVEN HIGHER.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...
HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE
AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER ON COUNTRY ROADS AND
FARMLAND ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
