...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 1 AM CDT SATURDAY THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flash Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of Illinois, including the following areas,
  Hancock, Henderson, Henry IL, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island and
  Warren and Iowa, including the following areas, Benton, Cedar,
  Clinton, Des Moines, Henry IA, Iowa, Jefferson, Johnson, Jones,
  Keokuk, Lee, Linn, Louisa, Muscatine, Scott, Van Buren and
  Washington.

* WHEN...From 1 AM CDT tonight through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Repeated rounds of thunderstorms are possible starting late
    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...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings during this period. Those living in areas prone to flooding
should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
