...Heavy Rainfall Could Lead to Localized Flooding Tonight...

An approaching storm system will interact with a record moist and 
unseasonably warm air mass to bring the threat of locally very heavy 
rainfall tonight. While there are uncertainties exactly where, a 
swath of 2 to 5 inches of rain may fall within 3 to 6 hours 
somewhere over northern Illinois tonight primarily along and 
northwest of Interstate 55.

Despite the ongoing drought and resultant low stream flow and below 
average soil moisture, rainfall in excess of 2 inches may
result in flooding, particularly of low lying and flood prone 
areas. 
        
Very heavy rainfall and flooding are possible, but not yet 
certain. Persons should closely monitor forecasts including the 
possibility of flood watches, warnings, and advisories. Clear storm 
drains and gutters of leaf debris to allow storm waters to drain.
