evening across northern Illinois. Totals of one and a half to
two inches are expected in much of the Watch area of north
central and far northeast Illinois. Some locations in far
northern Illinois on Tuesday afternoon and night saw one to two

tributaries.

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.
