Hydrologic Outlook

National Weather Service Chicago IL

1217 PM CDT Wed Apr 10 2024



...Rainfall may lead to flooding late this week...

        

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.
