The combination of frozen ground and heavy rain this weekend has placed Door and Kewaunee County in a flood watch.

Issued by the National Weather Service, the flood watch covers a 15 county area in central and northeast Wisconsin and is expected to last from Saturday at 6 p.m. until 6 p.m. Monday. In addition to the half-inch to three-quarter-inch of rain expected on Saturday, snowmelt is expected to contribute to waterways rising above the flood stage.
