Heavy rain and strong winds have put much of northeast Wisconsin including Door and Kewaunee Counties into a flood warning. The National Weather Service predicts that over an inch of precipitation could fall before rain subsides on Tuesday morning. With wind gusts reaching 35 miles per hour, the lakeshore flood advisory for Door and Kewaunee Counties is set to expire at 7 a.m. Tuesday. The Kewaunee County Highway Department was forced to re-close a portion of County Highway E Monday morning after the Kewaunee River overflowed its banks. The Door County Sheriff’s Department also reported standing water on some county and town roads in addition to down tree branches.
