A slow-moving storm system that battered Wisconsin over the weekend prompted flood advisories in several states across the central U.S.

Record-setting rains in southeastern Wisconsin overnight Saturday to Sunday led to life-threatening flash flooding in Wauwatosa, Milwaukee and surrounding communities. The downpour prompted water rescues, damaged homes and businesses, and knocked out power for thousands.

The National Weather Service extended severe thunderstorm warnings for parts of Milwaukee and Waukesha counties until 6:30 p.m. Wind gusts could reach 60 mph, and penny-sized hail is possible. Expect damage to roofs, siding and trees.
