…FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON…
The National Weather Service in Chicago has issued a
Flood Watch for portions of north central Illinois and northeast Illinois, including the following areas: Boone, DeKalb, Lee, Ogle, Winnebago, Lake, and McHenry Counties.
Through Thursday afternoon
Rainfall overnight of one half to one inch on frozen ground across north central Illinois has lead to minor flooding in several locations, including some streams over their banks. Additional rainfall will occur this evening, some briefly heavy, and scattered amounts of one half to one inch are possible. Additional scattered showers and storms are possible on Thursday morning.
Expect additional rises on area rivers, particularly in the Rock and Pecatonica basins. Portions of these rivers and their tributaries are already above flood stage and this rainfall may worsen river conditions.
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.
