Warnings and Notices

	Areal Flood Watch
Statement as of 2:25 PM CST on November 15, 2009 ... Flood Watch in effect from midnight CST tonight through Tuesday afternoon... The National Weather Service in Lincoln has issued a * Flood Watch for a portion of central Illinois... including the following counties... Cass... Fulton... Logan... Mason... Menard... Morgan... Sangamon... Schuyler and Scott. * From midnight CST tonight through Tuesday afternoon. * An upper level disturbance will bring heavy rain to portions of central Illinois. Current indications are that 2 to 4 inches of rain will be possible... especially southwest of a Canton to Springfield 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.
