Hydrologic Outlook
National Weather Service Chicago IL
1124 AM CDT Tue Apr 2 2024

...Rainfall may lead to flooding over the next several days...

A developing area of rainfall in the Mississippi River Valley is
expected to move to the northeast into north central Illinois over
the next several hours. Rainfall with rates up to 0.5 inches per
hour are likely. Rainfall is expected to continue until changing to
snow later this evening. Prior to the changeover to snow, widespread
rainfall accumulations up to 1 inch are likely, with localized
accumulations near 2 inches possible. Significant rises are possible
on area streams and rivers, with rises on larger rivers such as the
Pecatonica, Kishwaukee, and Rock continuing for several days. In
addition to flooding of rivers, localized flooding of roadways and
poor drainage areas is also possible.

This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts
are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor
forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and
advisories.
