AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of Illinois, including the following areas,

* WHEN...From late tonight through Sunday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Repeated rounds of thunderstorms are possible starting
tonight into Sunday morning. Urban flash flooding is possible
tonight with the first round of thunderstorms. This rainfall
will set the stage for additional, possibly more impactful
flash flooding Saturday night into Sunday morning. This is
especially true in areas that had heavy rain last week. The
exact placement of the bands of rain are uncertain at this
time. However, with the recent rainfall and forecast for
additional rain, the risk for flash flooding begins tonight
lasting at least into Sunday morning.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
