Flood Watch issued for much of East Central Illinois

The National Weather Service has posted a flood watch for most of East Central Illinois. It runs from this (Monday) evening through Tuesday night.

The rain will combine with the rapid melting of a very wet snow pack. The Champaign and Vermilion County area received several inches of new snow Saturday.

Other parts of the WGFA-WIBK listening area area received in excess of two-inches of rain last weekend, resulting in a saturated ground. The amount of rain and the saturated ground prompts flooding concerns.
