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.
