Flood Watch issued April 17 at 11:04AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Fri April 17, 2026, 11:04 AM
Expires: Sat April 18, 2026, 5:15 AM

...The National Weather Service in Chicago IL has issued a Flood Watch for the following rivers in Indiana... Kankakee River at Dunns Bridge affecting Porter and Jasper Counties. ...The Flood Watch continues for the following rivers in Indiana... Kankakee River at Shelby affecting Newton and Lake IN Counties. For the Kankakee River...including Dunns Bridge, Shelby...flooding is possible. * WHAT...Flooding is possible. * WHERE...Kankakee River from Near I-65 and De Motte downstream to IL/IN state line, including the Shelby gauge. * WHEN...Until further notice. * IMPACTS...At 10.5 feet, Water overflows low-lying river banks along Bluegrass Road east of Sumava Resorts and along Westwood Drive and Island Boulevard near Shelby. Water begins to be diverted through the Blackberry Marsh Spillway to reduce flood impacts. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 10:45 AM CDT Friday the stage was 9.8 feet. - Forecast...Flood stage may be reached early Sunday morning. - Flood stage is 10.5 feet. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

A Flood Watch means water levels above flood stage are possible, but not yet certain, based upon the latest forecasts. Persons along rivers and streams in the watch area should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action should flooding develop. These forecasts are based on observed precipitation as well as forecast precipitation 24 hours into the future. Changes to the rainfall forecast, or any additional rainfall after 24 hours, may cause changes to these river forecasts. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov. The next statement will be issued by late tonight.


Flood Watch issued April 17 at 6:27PM CDT until April 18 at 5:00AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Fri April 17, 2026, 6:27 PM
Expires: Sat April 18, 2026, 4:00 AM

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. * WHERE...Much of northern and central Illinois and extreme northwest Indiana. * WHEN...Until 5 AM CDT Saturday. * IMPACTS...Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Ongoing river flooding may worsen. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Roads and streets may be flooded. Area creeks and streams are already elevated, increasing the risk of flooding due to additional rainfall. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A line of thunderstorms, some capable of producing rainfall rates of up to 2 inches per hour, will move across the area this evening into the early overnight hours. Despite the expected relatively fast storm movement, anomalously high atmospheric moisture content will support high rainfall rates. In many areas, soil moisture remains very high, including near the Illinois-Wisconsin border where nearly saturated soils exist due to recent heavy rainfall. While many areas may see lighter accumulations less than 0.5 inches, soils will be very sensitive to rainfall. Areas near and downstream of heavy rainfall, particularly urban areas and locations in far northern Illinois, may see flash flooding and river flooding impacts, some locally significant. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

A Flood Watch for flash flooding means rapid-onset flooding is possible, but not yet certain, based upon the latest forecasts. Flash flooding is a dangerous situation. Persons with interests along area rivers, creeks, and other waterways should monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action should flooding develop.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
