Heavy rain Tuesday night into Wednesday morning caused flash flooding in southeastern Wisconsin. Among the hardest hit areas are in Racine and Walworth County especially the city of Burlington.
One unofficial reporting station in the Burlington area claims to have had more than 12 inches of rain. Officially Burlington received 6.8 inches of rain.
Storm Team 4 Meteorologist Scott Steele went to the town of Lyons in Walworth County in hopes of talking with a weather observer who says he received more than 10 inches of rain but Scott was unable to get to the location because of flooded and closed roads.
The heavy rain is expected to cause the rivers and streams to rise over the next couple of days adding the threat of additional flooding.
