"We're looking at 4 inches of rain, over the two-day period, which translates to 28 billion gallons of water. That overflow started at around 11:15 p.m. That led to a sewer overflow Sunday night, according to the Milwaukee Metro Sewerage District. The National Weather Service reported that Milwaukee set a daily rainfall record for the month of September, with the city getting 4.78 inches of rain as of 1 a.m. Light showers are possible through tonight, but with much lower amounts. "They (Racine) had more rain in less than 24 hours, than they had all summer," Kuffel said.īut that wasn't the case for Milwaukee County and Waukesha County, which saw higher rain totals this year. Kuffel said Racine hasn't seen a lot of rain this year and last year, which meant flooding wasn't as much of an issue in that area. "That explains why we were able to consistently see 1 to 2 inch per hour rainfall rates during yesterday's system, even though we didn't have any thunderstorms to go along with it." "September is becoming more like a summer month where it’s been warmer, and warmer air can hold more moisture, so when we get these really efficient rain events, we’re seeing these clouds can hold more water than they’re used to," Kuffel said. Kuffel said it was clear the system was going to be stalling around Lake Michigan and Northern Illinois, which helped create the high rain totals in Wisconsin. Kuffel said a weather model last week was showing a "cutoff low," or a low pressure system that develops and gets cut off from the main flow of the jet stream.

MADISON WI PRECIPITATION TOTALS FULL
Please review our full terms contained on our Terms of Service page.A Wisconsin Department of Transportation camera shows crews working to remove water from Interstate 94 in Waukesha on Monday. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects.
