Flood Warnings: Throughout southeast Wisconsin until Saturday

People with flooding issues, whether they're evacuating, worried about future floods coming, or have a basement to dry out, won't like some of what WTMJ Weather Plus Storm Team Meterologist Craig Koplien has to say about today.

"There's still rain in some places this morning, but this is going to be tapering off as the morning goes on," says Koplien.

"Then, we're going to at least get a couple of dry hours, and maybe, some parts of the area will be dry all afternoon. However, there is a chance that a few scattered thunderstorms will redevelop around noon or early on this afternoon.

"All indications are, they'll be much more scattered and not nearly as heavy or as intense as they were yesterday when they came through, both in terms of the rainfall they produce, and in terms of the potential for severe weather."

A silver lining: no really dangerous storms coming in terms of hail or tornadoes, or even torrential downpours that have caused all this flooding.

"The threat for damaging winds and large hail with the storms is very, very small today, and for that matter, the threat for heavy rainfall is very low.

"That said, it's not going to take much rainfall to make what's already a terrible flooding situation even worse, and that's possible today as thunderstorms are going to develop in at least a scattered fashion later on."

Weekend: Not Out Of The Woods

"A lot of places are going to get a break tomorrow. Much of the area is going to get through the day dry, but that said, there's still a slight chance of thunderstorms in the forecast.

"If they develop, they'll be scattered enough that not everybody will get them.

"The threat is going to be a little higher Saturday night, and I'll say there's a good chance of thunderstorms on Sunday.

Next Week: "Light at the End of the Tunnel"

"The break is not going to come until the weekend is over.

Craig's forecast for next week may bring a "kiss the weatherman" mentality for all these people suffering from the floods:

Dry.

"Monday, Tuesday, Wednesdsay and Thursday...it's a couple days away. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. It's a pretty long tunnel, but we do have an extended stretch of dry weather starting next week."
