The National Weather Service reported Sunday morning that areas of Vernon County had received more than six inches of rain in the past 24 hours, leading to flooding conditions.
Randy Breeser, a data program manager at the La Crosse NWS office, said the Ontario area had received 6.2 inches of rain in the 24 hours preceding 8 a.m., Sunday. Other rainfall amounts in the same period for other Vernon County municipalities included: Viroqua 4.53, Genoa 4.5, La Farge 4.45 and Readstown 3.04 inches.
Breeser said that radar reports suggest that the storm system over Vernon county at 10 a.m. would move out of the area by about 11 a.m. However, more rain and thunderstorms were predicted to possibly roll through Vernon County late Sunday afternoon and evening.
Vernon County is under NWS flood warnings and a flash flood watch.
