Madison has been one of the hardest hit areas with more than 9" falling this month, most of it within the last week. Along with the threat for severe weather is heavy rain again, bringing an additional risk of flooding. Flash Flood Watches are in effect through most of  Wisconsin, including Green Bay, the Fox Cities, Wausau.
