Here we go again...more heavy rain on the way. This in from the NWS...
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SUNDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE
MONDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Paducah has issued a

* Flood Watch for all of southern Illinois, southwest Indiana,
  western Kentucky, and southeast Missouri.

* From Sunday afternoon through late Monday night.

* Another 2 to 4 inches of rainfall is headed this way. Locally
  higher amounts are possible, mainly in the south.

* This is another round of soaking rainfall, similar to our last
  bout. With rivers already in flood, and most of our creeks,
  streams, and tributaries still in recovery from the last rains,
  the ability of our grounds and water bodies to absorb this next
  rain system will be challenged, and rainfall runoff leading to
  flooding issues is anticipated.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
