Eastern Kane County in northeastern Illinois...

* Until 945 AM CDT Thursday.

* At 345 AM CDT, moderate rain was very gradually diminishing across
northeast Illinois and northwest Indiana and this will continue to
diminish through the rest of this morning. Observations and radar
indicate 2 to 3 inches of rain had fell over much of the area
since Tuesday evening, with 3 to 4.5 inches in some parts
including Lake and McHenry Counties. This has likely resulted in
minor flooding throughout the Advisory area, including some
streams over their banks.

* Some locations that will experience minor flooding in or near them
include Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, Naperville, Elgin, Waukegan,
Cicero, Hammond, Gary, Arlington Heights, Evanston, Schaumburg,
Bolingbrook, Palatine, Skokie, Des Plaines, Orland Park, Tinley
Park, Oak Lawn and Berwyn.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying
spots.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding
of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
