...Heavy rainfall and flooding possible due to remnants of Beryl...

The remnants of Hurricane Beryl are expected to move northeastward
into the Midwest Tuesday into Wednesday. Tropical moisture
associated with the center of the remnants of Beryl is expected to
contribute to bands of heavy rainfall from late Tuesday afternoon
through early Wednesday morning. While most areas will see generally
low to even no storm total rainfall from this system, a sharp
gradient from low rainfall very heavy rainfall is likely somewhere
in northeastern Illinois or northwestern Indiana. Confidence is low
on the exact track of the system, which means there remains low
confidence in the amounts and locations of heaviest rainfall.

Soils across most of northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana
have below average to near average moisture, somewhat reducing the
chance for widespread flooding. Despite this, rainfall rates may be
high enough to still cause flooding particularly in poor drainage
areas including roadways, ditches, and fields. Significant river
rises may also occur where rain is heaviest.

This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential flooding
impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely
monitor forecasts including the possibility of flood watches,
warnings, and advisories.

This outlook is expected to be updated by tomorrow morning.
