THE HEAVY RAINFALL WILL EXACERBATE ONGOING RIVER FLOODING...INCLUDING THE KANKAKEE RIVER. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY OVER PRIMARILY NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO. THE MAIN HAZARD IS DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 MPH...BUT A FEW STORMS MAY PRODUCE HAIL TO ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS FROM STORMS...DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO THE STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT...WITH VERY STRONG WINDS LIKELY AFTER THE FRONT PASSES LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES... ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.75 TO 1.50 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ISOLATED AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. RUNOFF FROM THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN ATOP SATURATED SOILS WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING OF STREAMS AND LOW-LYING AREAS. FLOODING WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE KANKAKEE RIVER AND MORE RIVERS WILL LIKELY FLOOD BY MID TO LATE WEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE SAINT JOSEPH MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN MAUMEE RIVER BASINS. ICE FLOWS AND POTENTIAL JAMS MAY EXACERBATE ANY FLOODING. LONGER TERM LAKE STORAGE FLOODING COULD ALSO OCCUR BY NEXT WEEK. THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY. IT REMAINS TOO EARLY FOR MORE SPECIFIC WITH RESPECT TO THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER A HEAVY SNOWFALL EVENT DOES NOT APPEAR LIKELY. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
