	Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 3:20 AM CST on November 16, 2009 ... Flood Watch remains in effect through Tuesday afternoon... The Flood Watch continues for * a portion of central Illinois... including the following counties... Cass... Fulton... Logan... Mason... Menard... Morgan... Sangamon... Schuyler and Scott. * Through Tuesday afternoon * an upper level disturbance will continue to bring rain to portions of central Illinois. As of ealry Monday morning... rain totals so far had exceeded one inch across parts of the area. Current indications are that a storm total of 2 to 4 inches of rain will be possible... especially southwest of a Canton to Lincoln line... through late Tuesday. * This amount of rain will likely cause area rivers to begin rising. Portions of the spoon... Sangamon... and Mackinaw rivers may approach flood stage later this week. Portions of the Illinois River are still in flood from the heavy rain a couple weeks ago... and this upcoming rain will likely cause renewed rises. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop.
