The National Weather Service is tracking multiple weather hazards this week, many of those possibly affecting Sheboygan County.
Rainfall is a concern tonight through midweek, during which multiple periods of rain – sometimes repeating over the same area – could lead to localized flooding and river rises through the first half of the week, and some rivers may reach flood stage.

Locally, the Sheboygan River remains below the minimal “Action” stage and is being monitored by the National Water Prediction Service. Forecasts currently anticipate anywhere from one-tenth to three-quarters of an inch of rain through tonight.
Severe thunderstorms become a concern late Monday afternoon through the late night hours with isolated storm development between 3 PM and 6 PM, and the most widespread potential from 6 PM to 1 AM. Large hail will be a primary concern with the largest…from 2-3 inches in diameter…most likely in northern Manitowoc and Calumet, and Winnebago Counties northward, but shifts in the system could involve additional areas. Damaging winds, heavy rain and isolated tornadoes are also possible.

Concern for severe thunderstorms continues Tuesday and Wednesday with a focus along a front that’s expected to stall to our south. More confidence in forecasts will be possible as we approach midweek.
