Brewers game on despite limited parking access due to floods

FOR WEATHER WATCH 12. THIS IS A SEVERE WEATHER UPDATE. GOOD SUNDAY MORNING, METEOROLOGIST MOLLY BERNARD HERE, STARTING WITH SOME BREAKING BREWERS NEWS IN JUST THE LAST FEW MINUTES, THE BREWERS HAVE POSTED ONLINE THAT SOME ROADS AROUND AMERICAN FAMILY FIELD ARE STILL, AT THIS TIME, CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING. THEY’RE ASKING FANS COMING TO TODAY’S GAME TO WATCH FOR UPDATES. FIRST PITCH AGAINST THE METS IS SET FOR 110. THE BREWERS HAVE SAID THAT THE GAME WILL BE PLAYED, BUT KEEP IN MIND ABOUT HALF OF THE PARKING LOTS RIGHT NOW ARE NOT OPEN. THAT’S BECAUSE OF THE FLOODING THAT WE SAW NEAR AND AROUND THE BALLPARK LAST NIGHT. THIS IS A LOOK AT THE SCENE LAST NIGHT NEAR THE BALLPARK. AT THE STADIUM INTERCHANGE. YOU CAN SEE CARS. THERE SUBMERGED. SOME PEOPLE WERE TRAPPED INSIDE. WE SAW VIDEO OF PEOPLE WAITING AND SWIMMING OUT OF THOSE WATERS OVERNIGHT. THE GOOD NEWS IN MILWAUKEE COUNTY RIGHT NOW IS THE RAIN IS NOT NEARLY AS HEAVY. UNFORTUNATELY, WE’RE NOT DONE WITH RAIN ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN JUST YET. WE STILL HAVE TWO ACTIVE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS. THE FIRST IS RIGHT HERE. IT’S IMPACTING WASHINGTON OZAUKEE, WAUKESHA AND A VERY SMALL PART OF MILWAUKEE COUNTY THAT’S SET TO EXPIRE HERE IN ABOUT HALF AN HOUR. THE SECOND IS UNTIL NOON, AND THAT’S STRETCHING FOR PORTIONS OF WASHINGTON AND DODGE AND WESTERN WAUKESHA COUNTY. PRETTY DRY ACROSS MOST OF OUR AREA RIGHT NOW. THERE’S SOME STEADY RAIN FALLING IN FOND DU LAC, SHEBOYGAN AND DODGE COUNTIES, BUT THERE’S MORE HEAVY RAIN OFF TO OUR SOUTHWEST. THAT’S WHAT WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP AN EYE ON AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE NEXT FEW HOURS. THIS IS REALLY HEAVY RAIN THAT LOOKS TO BE DEVELOPING OFF TO THE EAST, SO IT’S VERY POSSIBLE THAT THAT SECTION OF THE STORM COULD IMPACT AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN SOME OF THE WORST FLOODING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS AND EARLY MORNING HOURS. SO HERE’S THOSE TWO FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AGAIN. THIS FIRST ONE THAT’S FARTHER TO THE EAST, IN EFFECT UNTIL 11. THE SECOND FARTHER WEST IS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON. AND IT’S JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD SO MUCH RAINFALL ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN WISCONSIN. AND IT SAT WITH SOME INCREDIBLY HIGH RAINFALL RATES OVERNIGHT LAST NIGHT, SOME PLACES SEEING, WELL, MORE THAN 9 OR 10IN OF RAIN. I’VE SEEN SOME REPORTS FROM MSD OF MORE THAN 14IN OF RAIN IN THESE FLASH FLOOD AREAS. ANY STORM THAT WE SEE THROUGH THE REST OF YOUR SUNDAY HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR REALLY HEAVY RAIN. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WITH THIS MUCH RAIN HAVING FALLEN JUST IN THE LAST 12 TO 18 HOURS, IT WILL NOT TAKE MUCH MORE RAIN. ON TOP OF THAT TO CAUSE SOME REALLY BIG ISSUES. EVEN THOUGH IN SOME AREAS WE’RE ALREADY STARTING TO SEE SOME OF THE WATER RECEDED, IT WILL CLIMB PRETTY QUICKLY. ONCE AGAIN, FLOOD WATCHES AND WARNINGS. THE WATCH THAT YOU SEE. SO THAT’S FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTIES. THE DARKER GREEN IS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY MORNING. THE BRIGHTER GREEN THAT YOU’RE SEEING. THOSE ARE FLOOD WARNINGS. AND THEY’RE IN PLACE FOR AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN THE HEAVY RAIN. BECAUSE WE HAD FLASH FLOODING, THE WATER ROSE VERY, VERY RAPIDLY IN SOME PLACES, BUT THERE’S NOWHERE FOR THAT WATER TO GO. SO WE’RE STILL DEALING WITH ROADS THAT ARE COVERED IN IN WATER AND FLOODED. AND ALSO RIVER LEVELS ARE HIGH AS WELL. I DO THINK THAT WE HAD A RECORD CREST IN ESTABROOK PARK ALONG THE MILWAUKEE RIVER, THE FOX RIVER IN WAUKESHA IS ALSO FORECAST TO POTENTIALLY HAVE A RECORD BREAKING CREST LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON. AND TONIGHT, 68 DEGREES LOOKING DRIER HERE IN PEWAUKEE. ALTHOUGH I DO THINK THE LAKE LEVEL IS RELATIVELY HIGH LOOKING AT THE DOCK, AS WELL AS JUST HOW MUCH BEACH SPACE THERE IS, THERE NO MORE RAIN IN BROOKFIELD FROM OUR CAMERA AT LANDMARK CREDIT UNION, BUT THERE IS STILL A TON OF WATER ON THE GOLF COURSE ACROSS THE INTERSTATE. OCONOMOWOC HAD PRETTY HEAVY RAIN HALF AN HOUR AGO, SO IT’S NICE TO SEE SOME DRIER CONDITIONS. CARS. THEY’RE MOVING ALONG JUST FINE OUT THERE THIS AFTERNOON, AND THERE’S A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN SHEBOYGAN. I KNOW THEY HAVE BOAT RACES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN TODAY. I DO THINK THAT THERE COULD BE SOME ISSUES WITH WAVES AS WELL AS STORMS IN THE FORECAST. AS WE HEAD THROUGH SUNDAY 71 THE DARK CLOUDS WITH THE STORMS OFF TO OUR NORTH FROM MSD, THERE’S THE MAJOR FLOOD STAGE RIGHT NOW FROM MILWAUKEE RIVER AT ESTABROOK PARK. IT’S SOMETHING WE’LL HAVE TO KEEP A REALLY CLOSE EYE ON. WE HAVE CREWS ALL OVER THE AREA RIGHT NOW THAT ARE WORKING ON GATHERING MORE INFORMATION. THESE ARE FORECAST RIVER LEVELS. I DO THINK WAUKESHA SHOULD BE UPDATED. WE HAVEN’T GOTTEN THE UPDATE JUST YET, BUT IT IS FORECAST TO CLIMB INTO THE MAJOR FLOOD STAGE. SO RIVER FLOODING IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN POTENTIALLY FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. WE’RE GOING TO ZOOM IN. THE GOOD NEWS, SOME OF THE AREAS THAT HAVE SEEN THE HEAVIEST RAIN ARE STARTING TO DRY OUT. THE AREAS THAT CURRENTLY HAVE THOSE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS TURNING A LITTLE BIT DRIER RIGHT NOW COMPARED TO WHERE WE HAVE BEEN OVER THE LAST HALF HOUR TO 45 MINUTES. WE’RE NOT DONE JUST YET. TODAY, LIKE I’VE BEEN SAYING, NOT GOING TO BE A WASHOUT, BUT WE ARE LOOKING AT THE POTENTIAL FOR ON AND OFF POCKETS OF POTENTIALLY VERY HEAVY RAIN AS WE HEAD THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TOMORROW MORNING. WE COULD HAVE SOME SHOWERS. TOMORROW AFTERNOON IS TRENDING MUCH, MUCH DRIER, BUT PLEASE STAY TUNED TO WEATHER WATCH 12. IF YOU CAN STAY INSIDE AND STAY HOME, THAT’S GOING TO BE THE SAFEST PLACE TO BE. I KNOW EMERGENCY CREWS HAVE BEEN WORKING NONSTOP ALL NIGHT LONG AND INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS TO KEEP YOU SAFE. WEATHERWATCH 12 IS GOING TO BE WITH YOU ALL DAY LONG. WE’RE GOING TO CUT IN ABOUT EVERY HALF HOUR. AND LIKE I SAID EARLIER, MAYOR CAVALIER JOHN CAVALIER JOHNSON IS EXPECTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE TO MILWAUKEE’S RESPONSE TO THE FLOODING. THE CITY OF MILWAUKEE’S RESPONSE TO THE FLOODING AT NOON. AND WE WILL BRING THAT TO YOU LIVE HERE AS WELL. FOR NOW, I’M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND SEND IT BACK TO REGULAR
