| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Significant flash flooding affected parts of south-central and southeast Wisconsin during the overnight hours of August 18th into the pre-dawn hours of August 19th, in a roughly 75-mile wide band from the Iowa-Sauk County border through Dane County to Racine and Kenosha Counties. The flash flooding was the result of very heavy overnight rains from August 18th into August 19th, rangning from 4 to 7 inches (roughly one or two summer month's worth of rain in 24-hours). However, WSR-88D Doppler radar rainfall estimates ranged up to 8 to 9 inches in parts of Sauk, Dane, and Iowa County. These rainfall amounts in such a short period of time only occur once in 100 to 200 years. A graphic of WFO MKX's WSR-88D Doppler radar rainfall estimate is attached to the Flash Flood event for Dane County. Many rivers and streams exceeded flood stage by 1 to 5 feet, and some would remain above flood stage through the end of August, 2007, through the first week of September, 2007. Synoptically, a stalled surface frontal boundary stretched from northern Iowa through northern Illinois, while warm, moist air flowed north up and over the boundary. Just north of the surface boundary was a nearly stationary, thunderstorm initiation zone near the Minnesota/Iowa border. The resultant rounds of storms moved southeast across southern Wisconsin and repeatidly traversed over the same areas. Additional severe flash flooding extended northwest into Vernon, Crawford, and La Crosse Counties and northeast portions of the state of Iowa. Refer to StormData events from those areas for related information. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | Urban and small stream flooding occurred across the northern third of Rock County after 3 to 4 inches of rain fell overnight. Water depths on roads reached a foot, especially in the Evansville and Edgerton areas, however no roads were closed. Reports indicated that the flood waters were not fast flowing, nor did they pose a danger to the public. Some crop damage was noted. Overnight rainfall of 6.4 inches were measured by a spotter in Edgerton. Local residents near Badfish Creek, west of Cooksville, noted that this creek flooded and merged with Frog Pond Creek and the water was 3.5 feet deep between the creeks. |
