Monroe County, IN Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Hydrologic Outlook issued September 30 at 3:59AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

ESFLOT Several waves of rain, and possibly a few thunderstorms, are likely through Thursday night. High moisture content in the atmosphere will lead to periods of torrential downpours and the threat for 1 to 3 inches of rainfall on a widespread basis through Thursday night. Repeated rounds of rain over saturated soils may lead to flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas as well as rises on area rivers, including along the Rock, Fox, DuPage, Des Plaines, and Illinois Rivers. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and advisories. Additional statements or outlooks may be issued by this afternoon.

Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
