Flood Watch
Issued: 1:26 AM Jul. 20, 2025 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
possible.

* WHERE...Portions of Illinois, including the following areas,
Hancock, Henderson, Henry IL, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island and
Warren, Iowa, including the following areas, Benton, Cedar,
Clinton, Des Moines, Henry IA, Iowa, Jefferson, Johnson, Jones,
Keokuk, Lee, Linn, Louisa, Muscatine, Scott, Van Buren and

* WHEN...Through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Extensive
street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Thunderstorms are expected across the watch area tonight into
Sunday morning. Very high rainfall rates of 2 inches or
greater in a short time are possible, which could lead to
flash flooding particularly in urban areas. In addition, with
the potential for repeated rounds of storms, some locations
could receive 2 to 4 inches of rain with locally higher
amounts possible. With saturated soils from previous
rainfall, these rainfall rates and rainfall amounts will lead
to an increased risk for flash flooding.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
