Heavy  rain passing over Roscoe and Beloit this morning, adding to flooding concerns. Beloit Police saying "due to the extended rains causing flooding, McKinley is being closed between Burton and Newark. Remember turn around, don’t drown." Flood warnings are still in place across southern Wisconsin this morning. Be careful and watch for ponding and localized flooding!








Embedded heavy rain within general area of showers this morning as you head out the door. Rain will continue through the morning, with a break expected mid morning. With rain totals between .25" to 1" already this morning, from yesterday and overnight, you'll be running into standing water. As mentioned in the previous post, there has been water over some area roads in southern Wisconsin. With the frozen ground, there is a lot of localized flooding and ponding in yards and some roads this morning. With more waves of rain expected this afternoon ahead of our cold front, the ponding and local flooding will continue to be a concern.

Along with the rain, fog is still an issue this morning. Northern Illinois is no longer under a dense fog advisory, but there are still areas of locally dense and thick fog. Fog will linger through the afternoon, until the cold front passes through.
