Until 245 PM CST

At 900 AM CST, radar indicated widespread moderate to at times heavy rain occurring across north central Illinois. Rainfall amounts of one half to three quarters of an inch had fell across most of the area early this morning, with at least an additional one half of an inch expected through 1 pm. The combination of this rain and snowmelt on frozen ground will likely cause minor flooding and ponding, including on some area roads.

Some locations that may experience flooding include… Rockford, McHenry, Belvidere, Woodstock, Loves Park, Machesney Park, Sycamore, Dixon, Rochelle, Harvard, and South Beloit.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

Turn around, don&#039;t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying spots.

A Flood Advisory means river or stream flows are elevated, or ponding of water in urban or other areas is occurring or is imminent.
