...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 AM CDT SUNDAY
THROUGH SUNDAY EVENING...
The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* Portions of Illinois and northwest Indiana, including the
following areas, in Illinois, Central Cook, De Kalb, DuPage,
Eastern Will, Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake IL,
McHenry, Northern Cook, Northern Will, Southern Cook, and
Southern Will. In northwest Indiana, Jasper, Lake IN, Newton,
and Porter.
* From 4 AM CDT Sunday through Sunday evening
* Widespread steady and moderate rainfall will encompass much of
the area late tonight and especially Sunday. This rain will fall
onto soils that are nearly or already saturated due to Thursday
night's heavy rain event. Rainfall amounts by mid to late Sunday
morning of 1 to locally near 2 inches are expected. By late
Sunday morning and through the afternoon into evening,
thunderstorms with heavier rainfall may begin to train over the
same area, providing an additional 1 to 2 inches and potentially
higher. How widespread the highest amounts are remains somewhat
uncertain.
* This heavy rainfall may result in flooding, especially of low
lying or poor drainage areas. This includes the Chicago metro
area. Additional rises on area rivers into next week are
expected.
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.
