UNDATED, Wis. (AP) - Flood warnings continue for several rivers in southern and southeastern Wisconsin.

The National Weather Service says some minor flooding has already occurred in parts of Jefferson, Kenosha, Racine, and Rock counties.

Brian Hahm with National Weather Service says water is still rising in the affected areas. And he says forecasters expect the slow rise to continue. But he says it doesn't appear as if the threat will get into the moderate to major categories unless there is some heavy rain.

Hahm says the rising water levels are largely the result of the melting of this year's heavy snowfall. The warnings affect parts of the Rock, Fox, and Kenosha rivers, as well as the Root River Canal.
