Flood watch issued through Wednesday; 3 or more inches possible

The National Weather Service office in Paducah has issued a food watch through Wednesday afternoon for all of southern Illinois.

Heavy rainfall amounts of 1.5 to 3 inches are forecast, with localized higher amounts possible. This may fall on areas that already received over 1.5" over the past 24 hours.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

Some strong thunderstorms are already taking place. Where they occur, gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Minor hail damage to vegetation is possible.

Continued upper flow from the southwest will keep rain chances in through the Memorial Day weekend.
