Hydrologic Outlook issued March 10 at 5:49AM CDT by NWS Chicago IL

Effective: Tue March 10, 2026, 5:49 AM
Expires: Tue March 10, 2026, 3:00 PM

ESFLOT Waves of showers and thunderstorms are likely late today into Wednesday, and particularly this evening. Some storms may produce rainfall rates in excess of 1 to 2 inches per hour, which could lead to localized flooding. The locations with the highest risk of flooding remain somewhat uncertain. The highest probability of heavy rainfall is generally along and south of I-80, but drought conditions worsen toward Livingston, Ford, Iroquois, and Benton counties. Drought conditions increase the rainfall rates needed to cause flood impact. Closer to the Chicago Metropolitan Area, lower rainfall rates would be required to cause flood impacts. 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.
