With close to 3 inches of rain falling in some parts of the area Monday night into Tuesday morning, don’t be surprised if your commute needs to be adjusted.
According to Precip.ai, Dyckesville received 2.99 inches of rain over the past 24 hours, with other locations in Kewaunee County getting at least 1.5 inches. That led to the closure of at least five flood-prone intersections, with several inches of water covering roadways.
In Door County, southern communities such as Brussels, Nasewaupee and Forestville saw more than 2 inches of rain, while northern communities including Egg Harbor, Sister Bay and Ephraim received just over an inch.
Door County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Kyle Veeser said motorists should avoid driving through water-covered roads, as conditions can be more dangerous than they appear.
Motorists may need to be patient with their commutes, as some roads may not reopen until floodwaters recede. Door and Kewaunee counties remain under a flood watch until 7 a.m. Wednesday, with more rain in the forecast every day through Saturday and a chance of snow on Sunday.
