Rivers Quick to Rise Following Several Days of Heavy Rainfall

Many across the Stateline have received an incredible amount of rainfall this past week, adding up to nearly 7-9 inches of rain for some! The latest round of heavy rain came down late Saturday night and Sunday morning, prompting Flash Flood Watches and Warnings once again.

After the first two rounds of rain, rivers were quick to rise across much of northern Illinois, pushing the rivers into minor and moderate flood stage, flooding low lying areas. Flood Warnings and Advisories remain in place for the Pecatonica, Rock and Kishwaukee Rivers, some through the end of the week.

There is some good news, however. High pressure building overhead for the start of the week will keep skies mostly dry, but muggy. The next chance for rain looks to return towards the middle of the week, possibly as early as Wednesday evening/night.
