Flood Watch

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

* WHERE...Portions of Illinois, including the following counties, Ford, Iroquois and Livingston and northwest Indiana, including the following counties, Benton, Jasper and Newton.

* WHEN...Until 10 AM CDT /11 AM EDT/ this morning.

* IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and streams are already elevated, increasing the risk of flooding due to additional rainfall.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A corridor of heavy showers and thunderstorms is developing across central Illinois and Indiana early this morning and may extend far enough north to impact portions of the watch area. Torrential rainfall will be possible with any showers and thunderstorms that develop and may quickly lead to flooding due to already saturated soils from recent heavy rainfall. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
