* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Another round of torrential rain producing thunderstorms is

portions of far northern Illinois having observed widespread
flash flooding on Saturday and Sunday nights, additional
heavy rain will likely cause rapid water rises and the
potential for renewed significant flash flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Now is the time to take action to reduce the impact to life and
property from possible flooding. Move valuables from flood-prone
areas such as basements and poor drainage areas. Know alternate
routes for travel should roadways or railways become flooded.
A Flood Watch for flash flooding means rapid-onset flooding is
possible, but not yet certain, based upon the latest forecasts.
Flash flooding is a dangerous situation. Persons with interests
along area rivers, creeks, and other waterways should monitor the
latest forecasts and be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.
