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

.DAY ONE...Tonight

Scattered thunderstorms are expected across most of the region
tonight. A few of the storms may produce strong winds and small
hail. The greatest risk of seeing stronger storms would be south
of a line from Wisconsin Rapids to Appleton to Manitowoc.

A Flood Watch remains in effect for much of the area, except the
lakeshore counties. Additional rainfall amounts of one-half to
one inch are expected, although locally higher amounts are
possible. These new rains may lead to further river rises across
the area. Keep up to date with the latest river forecasts if you
live near a river or stream. The heavy rain may cause urban street
flooding and ponding of water on roadways, resulting in hazardous
travel.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Monday

The additional rainfall will cause rivers to rise again, and
possibly result in additional river flooding in some areas through
the end of the work week. Residents who live along rivers and
streams should keep a close eye on river levels, and be prepared
to move to higher ground. Boaters and fishermen should also use
caution due to hazardous currents on fast-moving rivers.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotters are requested to report rainfall amounts over an inch.
Spotters should also report hail over a half inch in diameter, or
strong or damaging wind gusts this evening.
