(WAND WEATHER) – Central Illinois finally got some useful rainfall. But dry soil concerns remain as farmers try to wrap up their fields.
Rainfall is primarily concentrated near the I-55 corridor due to the rapid accumulation of rain.
Even showers and thunder are ahead of the cold front, which is expected to change late tonight into tomorrow.
Be careful when commuting in the evening. Heavy rain is expected, but some roads may be flooded. Remember that if you find a flooded area, it’s best to turn back.
Rain accumulates rapidly on already dry land, and flash flooding can be a concern. In parts of central Illinois it can exceed 1.5 inches, and over wide areas he can occur 1 inch.
