Morris, IL Weather Alerts

ESFLOT

Flooding of rivers, creeks, ditches, and poor drainage areas
possible across northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana later
this week. Significant river rises and renewed flooding possible
along the Iroquois, Kankakee, Des Plaines, Fox, and Illinois rivers.

Rainfall is expected to develop and move into the Midwest during the
day on Wednesday and continue through Thursday night. Widespread
rainfall of at least half an inch is likely, with localized totals
near 2 to 3 inches possible. Runoff from this rainfall will be
increased due to high soil moisture values across the region due to
recent wet weather. Significant rises are possible on area streams
and rivers, including the possibility of renewed flooding on the
Iroquois, Kankakee, Des Plaines, Fox, and Illinois rivers and their
tributaries. In addition to flooding of larger rivers, flooding of
fields, ditches, and poor drainage areas may also occur. Confidence
in the exact placement of rainfall and the exact rainfall totals
remains low at this time, which prevents more specific forecasts.

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

This product may be updated tomorrow if the possibility of heavy
rainfall and flooding continues.

ESFLOT

Flooding of rivers, creeks, ditches, and poor drainage areas
possible across northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana
tomorrow into the weekend. Significant river rises and renewed
flooding possible
along the Iroquois, Kankakee, Des Plaines, and Illinois rivers. The
confidence in flooding has decreased since previous outlooks.

Rainfall is expected to begin tonight and continue into Thursday
night. Widespread rainfall totals up to half an inch are possible,
with isolated amounts up to 2 inches especially across northwestern
Indiana. Runoff from any rainfall will be increased due to high soil
moisture values across the region due to recent wet weather.
Significant rises are thus possible on area streams and rivers if
heavy rainfall occurs. In addition
to flooding of larger rivers, flooding of fields, ditches, and poor
drainage areas is also possible. Confidence in the exact placement
of rainfall and the exact rainfall totals remains low at this time.
Heavy rainfall may occur just east of the area, in which case no
flooding would be expected.

This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts
are possible, but not yet certain. Persons with interests along area
streams and rivers should closely monitor the latest forecasts.

There are currently no updates scheduled for this outlook.
