ESFGRB
Mild temperatures through midweek may result in break up of river
ice, leading to potential for ice jam flooding. In addition,
rainfall amounts of 1 to 1.5 inches will occur from Tuesday
afternoon into Wednesday, and most of this will run off into rivers,
as there is deep frost in the ground. The combination of ice jams
and heavy rain may lead to minor flooding of rivers, ditches, and
low lying urban areas in central, northeast and east central
Wisconsin. Ponding may also occur on area roads, leading to
hazardous travel conditions.
Residents who live near rivers should watch for ice jams and
flooding of low-lying areas. Motorists should be alert for water
ponding on roads, especially Tuesday night into Wednesday morning,
when the rain is expected to be heaviest.
