Small Stream Flood Advisory

The National Weather Service in Chicago has extended the urban and small stream flood advisory for rain and melting snow for all of north Central and northeastern Illinois until 8:00 a.m. Monday.

At 10:00 p.m. the National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated an area of light rain moving northeast across the advisory area. Although this rain is expected to only produce light amounts tonight with higher rainfall rates unlikely, the combination of snow melt and the rainfall from Sunday will help keep streams and rivers elevated as well as more rural locations likely observing water covered roads near ditches or adjacent water covered fields.

Excessive runoff from this storm will cause elevated levels on small creeks and streams, ponding of water on roads, urban areas highways, viaducts, underpasses and low lying areas.
