- Showers and thunderstorms are developing along a stalled surface
front. Atmospheric conditions are favorable for heavy rainfall
with localized rainfall rates exceeding 2 inches per hour late
this evening through the overnight. Slow storm motion and the
potential for multiple rounds of rainfall will increase the
threat for flooding in some areas. Portions of northeastern
Illinois received 1 to 3 inches of rainfall earlier today which
also increases the threat for additional flooding.

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.
