Flash Flood Watch Issued

A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for Jo Daviess, Stephenson, Carroll, Whiteside, Ogle, Lee and DeKalb counties until Wednesday morning.

Heavy recent rainfall combined with the heavy rain expected Tuesday night could lead to localized flash flooding over parts of northern Illinois.  Incoming rain and thunderstorms Tuesday evening have produced anywhere from a tenth of an inch of rain in southern Wisconsin, to over half an inch in Freeport. 

While the rain has lightened up briefly Tuesday evening, moderate rain showers in eastern Iowa will continue to move east reaching northern Illinois between 10pm and 10:30pm.  Most of the rain should be out by 1am/2am Wednesday morning.

Severe thunderstorms have been ongoing further downstate will remain well south of the area tonight.  Flash Flood Warnings extend all the way from west-central Illinois back down through Kansas!
