Heavy rain threat returns to northern Illinois this weekend

The flood watch that had been in effect for our areas to the south has been cancelled as the heaviest rain has shifted well south of the Stateline. While a few lingering showers will be possible as we approach the midday hours, the threat for widespread flooding has diminished. A few light showers will also be possible this afternoon as our next system approaches. Nothing to the extent however that would increase the threat for flash flooding across the Stateline area.
