...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...All of southern Illinois, southeast Missouri, western
  Kentucky and southwest Indiana.

* WHEN...Through Sunday morning.

* IMPACTS...
  ...This is a particularly dangerous situation...

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams,
and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams
may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
Extensive street flooding may develop. Flooding may occur in homes,
businesses and other locations not normally subject to flooding.
Roadways may wash away near creeks and culverts.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Multiple rounds of locally heavy rainfall over several days
    will result in extreme forecast amounts of up to 1 foot of
    rain that will cause the risk of flash flooding and flooding
    to rise markedly and create a particularly dangerous flooding
    situation.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Monitor later forecasts and be alert for Flash Flood and Flood
Warnings. Be prepared to take action when flooding develops.
