The DOT also gave these tips for safe driving during flood conditions:

• Please make sure you have the flooding tab clicked on the 511 map to view all locations of flooding.
• Never attempt to cross a water-covered road. Just 12 inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle off the road.
• Do not ignore barricades or road closure signs.

Flash flooding can occur suddenly anywhere in the area.

• Always check current road conditions before traveling:
• Visit the 511 Wisconsin website for the latest weather and road alerts.
• Motorists should plan extra time for travel, use designated alternate routes, and exercise extreme caution in low-lying areas. Conditions may change rapidly.
• For the latest updates, monitor the 511 Wisconsin website. Stay safe and drive smart when in doubt, turn around and find another way.
• For real-time information, please check the 511 Wisconsin website or call 511.

(WLUK) — More rain is on the way for Northeast Wisconsin.

Flood warnings are currently in effect for many area rivers and streams as recent rainfall has pushed some to reach flood level.

This morning, there’s a dense fog advisory in place.

Visibility could drop to a quarter mile in some places.

Today there’s a chance for showers and a few thunderstorms.

It will then become mostly sunny with a high near 66.

After the rain tomorrow night, we should have a string of dry days, which will help with dropping high river levels.
