Flood Watch issued January 8 at 10:39AM CST until January 9 at 12:00PM CST by NWS Green Bay WI
Heavy rain late this afternoon through this evening will fall on a
melting snowpack and partially frozen ground and frozen rivers
leading to the quick runoff. Flows in some rivers will increase
quickly, leading to the potential of minor flooding and increasing
the potential for ice jams.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by rain and snowmelt is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of central, east central, north central, and
northeast Wisconsin, including the following areas, in central
Wisconsin, Marathon, Portage, Waushara and Wood. In east central
Wisconsin, Calumet and Winnebago. In north central Wisconsin,
Langlade. In northeast Wisconsin, Brown, Door, Menominee, Northern
Oconto County, Outagamie, Shawano, Southern Marinette County,
Southern Oconto County and Waupaca.
* WHEN...Through Friday morning.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in minor flooding of
low-lying and poor-drainage locations, including urban areas. Storm
drains and ditches that are clogged with ice and snow may lead to
flooding of adjacent roads. Minor flooding could occur on rivers,
streams and creeks, including the potential for ice jams.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Rain may mix with snow over central and northern WI, which will
impact how much minor flooding occurs.
