Milwaukee area drying out after weekend rain causes record flooding on multiple rivers
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee area began drying out Monday after weekend rain hit unofficial state records of more than 14 inches (36 centimeters) in less than 24 hours, leading multiple rivers to flood at record-high levels, washing out vehicles, flooding basements and cutting power to thousands of homes. No fatalities had been reported as of Monday morning from the storms that began Saturday night and stretched into Sunday. Road closures were more isolated Monday as flood warnings continued in Milwaukee, Waukesha and Ozaukee counties. About 3,000 homes in the area remained without power as of Monday morning. Tom Groppi told WISN-TV that the basement of his Milwaukee home never flooded in more than 50 years, but he had 3 feet (about 91 centimeters) of water in it this weekend. 'What are you going to do?' he said with a laugh. 'I've been lucky.' The National Weather Service predicted more rain for the area Monday night, but nothing like the prolonged deluge Saturday into Sunday that caused the flash flooding. 'We are not expecting the level that we saw over the weekend, but there could be some areas that get some heavy downpours," said Sarah Marquardt, a National Weather Service meteorologist at the Milwaukee/Sullivan office. That could prolong areas with standing water but not result in additional flooding, she said. The National Weather Service said four rivers in the Milwaukee area hit record-high levels over the weekend. The official two-day rain total at the Milwaukee airport of 6.91 inches (about 17.6 centimeters) was the second-highest on record, Marquardt said. The record was 7.18 inches set in June 2008. The single-day total at the airport on Saturday of 5.74 inches (about 14.6 centimeters) was second only to the record of 6.81 inches set in 1986, Marquardt said. Unofficial two-day rain totals in the 10- to 12-inch range, with one reading exceeding more than 14 inches (about 35.6 centimeters) in northwestern Milwaukee County, would set record highs for the state once verified over the coming weeks, Marquardt said. The current state record is 11.72 inches (about 29.8 centimeters) set in 1946. The Kinnickinnic, Milwaukee, Menominee and Root rivers all hit record highs over the weekend, with the Milwaukee River going more than 4-feet over flood level, Marquardt said. A teenager clinging to a tree branch and standing on a submerged log was rescued by firefighters on Sunday afternoon after getting swept away in quickly moving water on a road flooded by the Root River in Franklin, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) southwest of Milwaukee. He was rescued by firefighters on an inflatable boat about 100 yards (91 meters) downstream from where he entered, the Franklin Fire Department said. He was unharmed. The flash flooding led to the cancellation of the final day of the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis outside of Milwaukee on Sunday, as well as USA Triathlon's Sprint and Paratriathlon National Championships in Milwaukee. Thousands of athletes from around the country were expected to participate in that event.

Tropical Storm Erin Update: Major Hurricane Predicted
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. All eyes are on the Atlantic Ocean as Tropical Storm Erin formed late Monday morning. AccuWeather meteorologists are predicting that the storm will be the first of the Atlantic hurricane season to become a major hurricane. Newsweek has contacted AccuWeather for comment by email. Why It Matters The Atlantic hurricane season began on June 1 and runs through November 30. Tropical Storm Erin is the fifth named storm of the season and the second to form this month, following Tropical Storm Dexter, which fizzled out over the ocean in the first week of August. Erin could become a major hurricane, a designation that occurs when a storm's wind speeds reach 111 mph or higher, classified as a Category 3 hurricane. Should it strengthen as meteorologists expect, Erin could become not only the first hurricane but also the first major hurricane of the season. What To Know Maximum sustained wind speeds for Tropical Storm Erin were measured at 45 mph with higher gusts. "Gradual strengthening is forecast over the next several days," the National Hurricane Center (NHC) said in the first public advisory for the storm. "Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center." What Effects Are Expected As of Monday, ongoing effects from the storm include locally heavy rainfall and gusty winds over parts of the Cabo Verde islands. NHC meteorologists warned people in that region to "monitor the progress of this system." Will Hurricane Erin Hit the U.S.? Erin is not expected to hit the U.S. According to a storm timeline from AccuWeather, Erin is forecast to become a Category 1 hurricane by Thursday afternoon when its eyes is located well east of the Lesser Antilles. Over the 48 hours that follow, Erin is forecast to intensify to a major hurricane, with wind speeds at 111 mph or greater. An image created by AccuWeather shows the potential path for Tropical Storm Erin, including when experts believe it will become a major hurricane. An image created by AccuWeather shows the potential path for Tropical Storm Erin, including when experts believe it will become a major hurricane. AccuWeather The timeline shows Erin will likely remain a major hurricane until Sunday around 2 p.m. The storm is then expected to downgrade to a Category 2, with wind speeds between 96 and 110 mph. The timeline shows the storm's path up to next Monday afternoon, when Erin is still expected to be a Category 2 storm. The NHC also forecasts that Erin will become a major hurricane, though its forecasts anticipate the storm will do so by late morning on Saturday. Despite the expectation that the storm's hurricane strength will persist through the weekend, it also looks as though it will make a northern turn well east of the U.S. East Coast. "The upper air pattern late week favors it turning north and likely staying east of the U.S. East Coast," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said in a report. "However, there can be an increase in rough surf and rip currents along the East Coast beaches next weekend into early the following week." Earlier this month, AccuWeather predicted that three to five named storms could form in the Atlantic throughout August. What People Are Saying The National Hurricane Center said in a Monday update: "Regardless of development over the next couple of days, the system is expected to continue moving westward to west-northwestward at 15 to 20 mph across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic." What Happens Next Meteorologists are monitoring the storm. The NHC is also monitoring two other disturbances in the Atlantic, both with a low chance of development.

Tropical Storm Erin forms, could become Atlantic's first hurricane this season
Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Monday, forecasters said. The storm could strengthen to become the Atlantic's first hurricane of the season. The storm formed just west of the Cabo Verde islands off the western coast of Africa, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Erin was expected to move west. Early models showed that the storm was expected to strengthen but that it doesn't pose an immediate threat to the U.S. Maps show Tropical Storm Erin's projected path As of 11 a.m. EDT, the center of Erin was located about 2,305 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands in the West Indies with maximum sustained winds of 45 mph. The National Weather Service predicted an above-normal season for the Atlantic basin this year with an expected number of named storms between 13 and 18, five to nine of which could become hurricanes. A tropical cyclone becomes a tropical storm when its maximum sustained wind speeds reach at least 39 mph. Hurricanes are more powerful with sustained winds of at least 74 mph. Hurricanes are rated on a scale ranging from Category 1 to Category 5, which is the most severe rating. A storm is considered to be a major hurricane when it reaches Category 3 strength with sustained winds of at least 111 mph.
