ESFLOT The remnants of Hurricane Beryl are expected to move northeastward into the Midwest Tuesday into Wednesday. Tropical moisture associated with the center of the remnants of Beryl is expected to contribute to bands of heavy rainfall from late Tuesday afternoon through early Wednesday morning. While most areas will see generally low to even no storm total rainfall from this system, a sharp gradient from low rainfall very heavy rainfall is likely somewhere in northeastern Illinois or northwestern Indiana. Confidence is low on the exact track of the system, which means there remains low confidence in the amounts and locations of heaviest rainfall. Soils across most of northeastern Illinois and northwestern Indiana have below average to near average moisture, somewhat reducing the chance for widespread flooding. Despite this, rainfall rates may be high enough to still cause flooding particularly in poor drainage areas including roadways, ditches, and fields. Significant river rises may also occur where rain is heaviest. This outlook means that elevated water levels and potential flooding impacts are possible, but not yet certain. Persons should closely monitor forecasts including the possibility of flood watches, warnings, and advisories. This outlook is expected to be updated by tomorrow morning.

ESFIWX The potential of heavy rain continues to increase through Wednesday as the remnants of tropical system Beryl lift across the southern Great Lakes and Ohio River Valley. An initial round of scattered showers and thunderstorms is possible Monday night into early Tuesday. The greater potential of heavy rainfall is Tuesday night into Wednesday afternoon. Confidence remains low on the exact track of this system and the resulting axis of heaviest rainfall. However, widespread amounts of 1 to 2 inches appears likely Tuesday night into Wednesday, with locally, with locally higher amounts possible. Heavy rainfall could lead to areal flooding concerns and rises on rivers across the area during the middle and latter portions of this week. If higher precipitation amounts in the forecasted range occur, some river flooding would also be possible. A good deal of uncertainty persists regarding the track of this system, so stay weather aware over the next 24 to 36 hours and monitor forecast updates along with the potential for any flood watches and warnings.
