This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for north-central and northeast
Wisconsin.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Some streams and rivers could reach flood stage today or tonight
as the water from yesterday's rain and snow works its way through
the river systems.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday

A strong system is forecast to impact the region Saturday night
into Tuesday. Heavy rains are possible, especially over east-
central Wisconsin. This could raise river and stream levels once
again to near or above flood stage. Light snow or a mix of rain
and snow will be possible across north-central Wisconsin Sunday
night into Monday morning. While a light snow accumulation cannot
be ruled out Sunday night, it now appears that temperatures will
be warm enough to keep any accumulation to a minimum.
