The primary region of concern includes areas southwest of Marshfield, where the threat of strong to severe storms is highest. Storms in these areas could bring damaging winds, frequent lightning, and isolated hail. Rainfall amounts are expected to be significant enough to warrant close monitoring of water levels, especially in flood-prone zones.
Live Events
Rain chances will persist on Wednesday evening, with continued potential for moderate to heavy precipitation. Conditions are expected to remain unstable into Thursday evening, with additional rounds of showers and storms likely. The combination of saturated soil and continued precipitation may increase the risk of
flash flooding
and standing water on roadways.
Residents in the affected counties are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring weather alerts and local forecasts. Motorists should exercise caution when driving through areas where water covers the road, as conditions may change rapidly with little warning.
