Rapid snowmelt of a deep and wet snowpack, along with some rain, resulted in rising water levels in many of the larger rivers in south-central and southeast Wisconsin during the period of March 11th through March 19th. Most of the rivers reached bank-full status or slightly exceeded flood stage by 3 to 8 inches, resulting in minor low-land flooding. One river, The Fox River in western Kenosha County, stayed above flood stage through March 29th.
