...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...

THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH CONTINUES FOR

* PORTIONS NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND NORTHWEST INDIANA.

* THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.

* PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TODAY INTO THIS EVENING
ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS FAVORABLE FOR STORMS
TO PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL RATES...POTENTIALLY UP TO 2
INCHES PER HOUR. IN ADDITION...STORMS MAY TRAIN OVER THE SAME
AREA...FURTHER INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF FLOODING.

* DUE TO RECENT BOUTS OF RAINFALL OVER THE PAST WEEK TO TEN
DAYS...THE GROUND IS NEARLY SATURATED IN MANY PLACES AND
ADDITIONAL RAIN COULD VERY WELL LEAD TO IMMEDIATE RUNOFF AND
RAPID FLOODING...AS WELL AS QUICK STREAM AND CREEK RISES.
FLOODING OF SOME ROADWAYS MAY OCCUR...AND THE TIMING OF THE
HEAVIEST RAINFALL MAY IMPACT THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY
EVENING COMMUTE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
