THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST OHIO...
NORTHERN INDIANA...SOUTHWEST LOWER MICHIGAN AND THE NEARSHORE WATERS
OF SOUTHEASTERN LAKE MICHIGAN.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND MAY LEAD TO FLOODING. THE
HEAVY RAINFALL WILL EXACERBATE ONGOING RIVER FLOODING...INCLUDING
THE KANKAKEE RIVER.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS
WEDNESDAY OVER PRIMARILY NORTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST OHIO. THE
MAIN HAZARD IS DAMAGING WINDS OF 60 MPH...BUT A FEW STORMS MAY
PRODUCE HAIL TO ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. IN ADDITION TO STRONG WINDS
FROM STORMS...DAMAGING WINDS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE DUE TO THE STRONG
PRESSURE GRADIENT...WITH VERY STRONG WINDS LIKELY AFTER THE FRONT
PASSES LATE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AND EARLY WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CAUSE HEAVY RAIN AT TIMES...
ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY MORNING. WIDESPREAD RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 0.75
TO 1.50 INCHES ARE EXPECTED BY WEDNESDAY NIGHT...ISOLATED AMOUNTS
IN EXCESS OF TWO INCHES ARE ALSO POSSIBLE. RUNOFF FROM THIS AMOUNT
OF RAIN ATOP SATURATED SOILS WILL LEAD TO AT LEAST MINOR FLOODING
OF STREAMS AND LOW-LYING AREAS. FLOODING WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE
KANKAKEE RIVER AND MORE RIVERS WILL LIKELY FLOOD BY MID TO LATE
WEEK...ESPECIALLY IN THE SAINT JOSEPH MICHIGAN AND NORTHERN MAUMEE
RIVER BASINS. ICE FLOWS AND POTENTIAL JAMS MAY EXACERBATE ANY
FLOODING. LONGER TERM LAKE STORAGE FLOODING COULD ALSO OCCUR BY
NEXT WEEK.

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL FRIDAY NIGHT
INTO SATURDAY. IT REMAINS TOO EARLY FOR MORE SPECIFIC WITH RESPECT
TO THIS SYSTEM...HOWEVER A HEAVY SNOWFALL EVENT DOES NOT APPEAR
LIKELY.


.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED WEDNESDAY.
