This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of north central
Illinois...northwest Illinois...west central Illinois...east
central Iowa...northeast Iowa...southeast Iowa and northeast
Missouri.

.DAY ONE...MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT

Severe storms are possible across the area today through this
evening and the Storm Prediction Center has an enhanced risk over
much of east central Iowa and all of northwest Illinois. There is
a slight risk over the remainder of the outlook area. Storms with
the potential for strong winds and heavy rainfall will move into
the area this morning.

A greater risk for severe storms will occur this afternoon as a
warm front lifts northward across the area. Thunderstorms are
likely with a few supercells possible, especially in the afternoon.
The severe weather threats will include damaging winds, large
hail and tornadoes. Scattered storms will be possible in the
evening, with a few possibly severe before 10 pm.

Heavy rainfall will be possible today through the evening hours.
This may lead to flash flooding as soil conditions are saturated
from the recent wet weather.

Area rivers are experiencing flooding. Please see the
latest Flood Statements and Flood Warnings for details.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY

Both severe weather and heavy rain are a threat Tuesday and a
lesser threat Wednesday. SPC currently has the area in a slight
risk Tuesday and marginal risk Wednesday, reflecting the relative
risk of severe weather each day. Additional rainfall will
continue to exacerbate flooding on both the Mississippi River and
tributaries.

Another round of storms is forecast late Friday night into
Saturday, and rain could linger intermittently through the
weekend. While it is too early to predict any severe weather
hazards, additional rainfall would continue to maintain high soil
moisture levels and flooding on area rivers.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...
Spotter activation and amateur radio activation may be needed this
afternoon and evening.
