* Rain will persist through late Thursday morning, falling
moderately at times through tonight. Totals of one to two and a
half inches are expected in much of the Watch area. Some
locations in far northern Illinois on Tuesday afternoon and
night saw one to two inches of rain, making them most

be impacted. Agricultural land and poor drainage areas may be
inundated in rural areas. River and small stream rises will
occur with flooding of these waterways also possible. This
includes the Des Plaines, DuPage, Fox, and Kishwaukee Rivers
and their 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.
