A much-needed break in the rain should allow rivers to recede rest of the week
After a morning round of storms and showers, things will start to clear up and, more importantly, stay that way for a while.
While there are more storms coming to Wisconsin tonight, Milwaukee-Sullivan National Weather Service meteorologist Cameron Miller said they will largely dissipate before arriving in Milwaukee.
So when the sun returns Aug. 13, skies should remain mostly clear through Friday night with temperatures ranging from the high-70s to the mid-80s — allowing for a much-needed break from the rain.
'The forecasts from last night have a lot of the rivers that are still in flood in the Milwaukee area coming down by the end of the week,' Miller said.

Tropical Storm Erin predicted to become major hurricane. Here's what SC can expect
Brewing west of Cabo Verde, Tropical Storm Erin is moving across the Atlantic. The National Hurricane Center officially named the storm Monday morning and expects Erin will develop into the first hurricane of the season this week. 'It's forecasted to reach hurricane strength by Wednesday afternoon and major hurricane strength by Saturday afternoon,' said National Weather Service meteorologist Rachel Zouzias. With maximum sustained winds of 45 mph, Erin is expected to reach northeast of Puerto Rico and impact currents along the southeastern United States coast by next weekend. 'As this storm moves west-northwest, the big impact for us, as it looks right now, would be rip current for the weekend,' Zouzias said. 'As the winds increase, it'll drive larger swells into our area and increase the rip current threat across our area.' It's too soon to say how Erin will progress into next week and if it'll make landfall on the East Coast. 'We'll have to watch and see how it intensifies, how it tracks and all that,' said Zouzias. 'It's too far out to say, but it's not at this point, it's not going to hit the southeast coast.' The NHC is also tracking two other tropical disturbances, one in the northwestern Atlantic and one in the northcentral Gulf. Neither is likely to form a cyclone, with just a 10% chance and a near-zero chance of developing into a named storm over the next seven days, respectively.

Record Chattanooga rainfall leaves 3 dead, prompts state of emergency
Torrential rain slammed the Chattanooga, Tennessee, area Tuesday night, leading to water rescues, flooded roadways, and toppled trees. In East Ridge, a suburb just south of the city, a falling tree crushed a car after midnight, killing a man, woman and their child, according to the Associated Press. Hamilton County's mayor declared a local state of emergency after downpours shattered Chattanooga's daily rainfall record. "Officially at the airport, Chattanooga had 6.42 inches of rainfall yesterday, with most of that falling between noon and 8 p.m.," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Dan Pydynowski said. "That was a record amount of rainfall for the date, easily breaking the old record of 1.93 inches of rainfall that fell on August 12, 2013." An AccuWeather Ambient weather station in Rising Fawn, Georgia, south of Chattanooga, reported 8.39 inches of rain during the event. More storms to the west of the city Tuesday morning caused flood warnings between Tullahoma and South Pittsburg, Tennessee. Roads were also reported underwater near Lynchburg. A flash flood watch is in effect for much of central and eastern Tennessee into early Wednesday night as more showers and thunderstorms can occur today into tonight, and some of them can contain additional flooding downpours. More showers and thunderstorms are expected across the eastern part of the state through the weekend, Pydynowski says. Storm coverage will be more widespread Thursday, then become less active on Friday and the weekend. Solve the daily Crossword
