Results From Record Amounts of Rain Continue to Swamp the Stateline

Flooding continues to block many roads across the Stateline tonight so the FLOOD WARNING has been contiunued for southwestern Boone, northern DeKalb, Ogle, Winnebago, and Stephenson Counties until 10 am on Sunday morning.  River flood warnings for the Rock, Pecatonica, Sugar, and Kiswaukee rivers will remain in effect until further notice.  Most of those rivers will be in moderate to major flooding conditions for the next few days. The good news is that a front is pushing all the tropical moisture off to the east, and the Stateline will finally get a breather from all the rain for a few days. Skies will be mostly sunny on Sunday under the influence of a mild high pressure area moving into our area from the norther plains. It will be seasonable with highs in the low 80's, but it will be less humid. It will be mostly clear and cooler on Sunday night, and the air conditioners will get a break as the temperature drops to near 60 degrees by daybreak. Sunshine will be with us again on Monday, and it will continue to be comfortable. Tuesday will be warmer and more humid again under partly cloudy skies, and by Tuesday night there could be a scattering of showers and thunderstorms back across northern Illinois. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continued to be a possibility off and on through Friday.
