Flash Flood Warning

National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL

637 PM CDT Thu May 2 2024



The National Weather Service in Quad Cities has issued a



* Flash Flood Warning for...

  Eastern and Southern McDonough County in west central Illinois...



* Until 1230 AM CDT.



* At 637 PM CDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 

  heavy rain across the warned area. Between 1.5 and 2 inches of 

  rain have fallen since mid afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts 

  of one half to 2 inches are probable in the warned area. Minor 

  flooding has already been reported from trained spotters, and 

  flash flooding is expected to begin shortly.



  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.



  SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.



  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban

           areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as

           other poor drainage and low-lying areas.



* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...

  Bushnell, Industry, Prairie City, Bardolph, Adair, New 

  Philadelphia, Pennington Point, Doddsville and Prairie City 

  Airport.



This will likely also cause the La Moine River to quickly rise, as 

well as other streams in the area, and flooding may occur along 

these.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 

deaths occur in vehicles.



Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 

dangers of flooding.



Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
