...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 6 PM CST /7 PM EST/ THIS
EVENING THROUGH LATE TUESDAY NIGHT...
The Flood Watch continues for
* Much of northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.
* From 6 PM CST this evening through late Tuesday night.
* Unseasonably warm and moist air will overspread the region
beginning today, with several rounds of showers and
thunderstorms expected between today and Wednesday. Widespread
rainfall totals between one and a half and four inches are
likely, with locally heavier totals in excess of four inches
possible.
* Ground remains frozen, therefore much of the rain will result
in rapid runoff. In addition, many areas north of I-80 still
have snow on the ground and melting of this snow will compound
runoff from heavy rainfall. Ice jam break up is also a
concern. Expect rises on area rivers and streams that may
result in flooding.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
