  • ...Heavy rain and localized flooding possible this weekend...
    Periods of rain are expected across portions of east central
    Illinois and northwest Indiana today. Rainfall amounts will vary
    but some areas may receive 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
    Another period of rain is expected Saturday through Sunday
    morning and this rainfall is expected to be more widespread with
    rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches possible...with locally higher
    amounts. The areas most likely to receive these higher rainfall
    amounts will be along and southeast of a Gibson City to Rensselaer
    line. However, there remains uncertainty regarding where these
    heavy rains will fall.
    If these heavier rainfall amounts materialize, rises will be
    possible on creeks, streams and rivers and localized flooding,
    particularly in poor drainage areas may develop. Those with
    hydrologic interests should closely monitor later forecasts and
    updates.
