...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM CDT THIS
AFTERNOON...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of northern Illinois, including the following areas,
in north central Illinois, Boone, DeKalb, Lee, Ogle, and
Winnebago. In northeast Illinois, McHenry.

* Until 1 PM CDT this afternoon

* Another period of moderate to possibly heavy rainfall is
expected across the area through early this afternoon. Showers
and isolated thunderstorms may produce localized rainfall totals
of an inch to an inch and a half. Given that the ground is
saturated from the previous heavy rainfall, any additional
rainfall may cause flash flooding.

* Localized flash flooding and flooding of poor drainage areas
will be possible, along with additional rises on rivers,
streams, creeks, and retention ponds.

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.
