Heavy Rains Moving Through Chippewa Valley



Heavy rains have been moving through portions of Western Wisconsin tonight, and are in no real hurry to leave either. That has prompted the National Weather Service to issue Flash Flood Warnings for the areas with the green boxes around them in the graphic above. Storm reports have been coming in around the area, including mudslides in Pepin County, roads being washed out near Eau Claire, and some impressive rainfall totals. The cell that is causing this is not very large, however it has been moving ever so slowly through the area, with speeds as low at 10mph. Above is the radar indicated rainfall totals as of 1:15am. While radar tends to over-estimate, the area has still seen some impressive amounts.
