The excessive rainfall over
central Illinois over the past several days was producing
flooding across the warned area. Rainfall over the past 24
hours averaged from three-quarters of an inch to locally 2
inches over the warned area. This fell over an area that had
already received moderate to heavy rainfall earlier in the
week.

Excessive runoff from heavy
rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks and streams,
country roads, as well as farmland along the banks of creeks
and streams.
A flood warning means flooding
is occurring or is imminent. Most flood-related deaths occur
in automobiles. Do not attempt to cross water-covered bridges,
dips or low water crossings.
To report flooding, have your
local ESDA or the nearest law enforcement agency relay your
report to the National Weather Service.
