Hydrologic Outlook issued June 20 at 3:30AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL ESFLOT A steady soaking rain is expected Sunday afternoon and evening. The highest rainfall amounts are forecast south of I-80 where totals in excess of 2 inches are possible. Many rivers and streams across the region remain elevated from recent heavy rainfall. Thus, rainfall amounts of this magnitude will result in renewed rises on area streams and rivers, with some potentially topping flood stage. Uncertainty remains with where the heaviest rainfall amounts will occur. Anyone in or near flood prone areas should thus closely monitor later forecasts. This outlook will be updated by this evening.
