Biggest rain in years, flash flooding overnight - FOX 6 Milwaukee

On August 6, the Milwaukee area had hardly seen 11 inches of rainfall all year, usually, by the start of August we would have received 20"+. In the last two days some areas have gotten as much as 7" and now makes this year look almost average even though it's been anything but. 

Storms Saturday night, August 7 into early Sunday morning, August 8 produced flash flooding for northern Milwaukee County and southern Ozaukee County. Totals ranged from .50" in Kenosha to as much as 7" near Cedarburg. It's possible in the last five years isolated locations have gotten more. 

"We haven't seen rain like this since 2008," according to FOX6's Rob Haswell. "Almost everyone north of I-94 got well over 2" of rain let alone the band of 4"+ all the way up to West Bend."

Widespread rain of 3"+ across SE Wisconsin Saturday night, Aug 7. 

Top rainfall totals from the National Weather Service:

West Bend – 5.33"

Allenton – 4.83"

Glendale – 4.28"

Theresa – 3.74"

Green Lake – 3.6"

Jackson – 3.5"

Germantown – 3.48"

Saukville – 2.77"

We're not totally out of the woods. Sunday afternoon, August 8 will bring southeast Wisconsin another severe threat through Monday morning, August 9. Gusty winds and heavy rain are the main concerns but hail and an isolated tornado is possible.
