...FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL MIDNIGHT CDT TONIGHT...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by recent excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...Portions of east central and southeast Illinois, including 
  the following counties, in east central Illinois, Clark and 
  Cumberland. In southeast Illinois, Clay, Crawford, Effingham, 
  Jasper, Lawrence and Richland.

* WHEN...Until midnight CDT tonight.

* IMPACTS...Expect many areas of slow moving or standing water. 

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 1108 AM CDT, areas of flooding continue due to the heavy
    rain that occurred late last week. Between 3 and 6 inches of
    rain fell over the region.
  - While additional showers are expected through the afternoon,
    rainfall amounts will not be enough to cause additional
    flooding.
  - Much of the lingering flooding is in low spots and near
    creeks in hilly terrain, where water is slow to drain.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

In hilly terrain there are numerous low water crossings which are 
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 
roads. Find an alternate route.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law 
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National 
Weather Service when you can do so safely.
