...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH LATE TONIGHT...
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, Ford, Grundy, Iroquois, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall,
La Salle, Lake IL, Livingston, McHenry, Northern Cook,
Northern Will, Southern Cook, and Southern Will. In northwest
Indiana, Benton, Jasper, Lake IN, Newton, and Porter.
* Through late tonight
* Widespread mainly light to moderate showers will continue this
morning. Through this afternoon, a general increase in heavier
rain and thunderstorm activity is anticipated. A slow-moving
line of heavy showers and thunderstorms this afternoon will
likely produce a period of heavy rain, with 1 to 2 inches of
rain possible over a period of less than two hours. This rain
will fall onto soils that are saturated due to Thursday night's
heavy rain event and additional ongoing rainfall. Widespread
additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches are expected, with
a narrow corridor of 2 to 4 inches with localized amounts in
excess of 5 inches possible through this evening, much of which
may fall in a short period of time.
* This heavy rainfall may result in flash flooding, some possibly
significant, especially of low lying or poor drainage areas. The
main concern period continues to focus on this afternoon into
this evening. Additional rises on area rivers will continue into
the upcoming work week.
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.
