From the National Weather Service:

The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued a flood watch for portions of south central Wisconsin and southeast Wisconsin, including Rock, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Racine, Walworth and Waukesha counties from 3 p.m. Thursday afternoon through late tonight.

Heavy rainfall of one inch will fall in a fairly short period this afternoon into the early evening hours.

This is on top of the snow melt from Wednesday, which may result in flooding of some rivers and low lying areas across far southeast Wisconsin Thursday afternoon and Thursday night.

A flood watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
