GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) – Power Outages and floods are concerns as severe weather hits the area late night Monday and it may not be over yet.
A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for Fond Du Lac County and eastern Sheboygan County for the early morning hours as a line of heavy rain continues to pass through the area.
“The problem is that the ground is saturated for having two heavy nights back to back, said Fox 11 Chief Meteorologist Patrick Powell. There was quite a bit of room for the creeks and streams to absorb a lot of that rain, but were are running out of room now.”
As of Midnight, Wisconsin Public Service reported over 26,000 customers without power. Over 4,000 customers were without power in Coleman. Green Bay reported 2,300 customers without power and 3,000 were without power in Pound.
We Energies had just over 3,000 customers without power at midnight.
Powell says we should prepare for a carbon copy today.
“We are going to see more Thunderstorms comeback after 4:00 this afternoon, and that will run through about 10:00 pm. With the high humidity, we could see heavy rain again.”
Green Bay Police reported about 20-30 calls for fallen trees. No significant damage was reported, and officials say drivers should use caution during their morning commute, but most the trees that fell on roadways were being cleared in the early overnight hours.
