Description:
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.
* WHERE...All of southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, western
Kentucky, and southwest Indiana.
* WHEN...Through late Saturday night.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are
possible. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood
with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- The first round, or rounds, of heavy rain occurred overnight with
southeast MO, southwest IL, and far western KY receiving most of
it. Radar estimates show a broad swath of 1 to 3 inches with
embedded pockets where storms repeated producing 2 to 3 times
that amount in some localities. This super saturated ground will
be prime breeding grounds for excessive runoff from additional
heavy rains expected later today into tonight, and heading into
the weekend.
Instruction:
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
