The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for the entire GIANT-FM listening area until 1 a.m. CDT Tuesday.
Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall of anywhere from 2 to 3 inches will be a threat as a weather system slowly moves across the region and starts to interact with deep tropical moisture already in place over southeastern Illinois and southwestern Indiana Monday and into Tuesday, June 9th.
Excessive runoff from the anticipated rainfall could result in flooding of local and area rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Those living in these areas should continue to monitor weather conditions and forecasts and be prepared to evacuate if floodwaters quickly rise.
