* PERIODS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED 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 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.
