Heavy Rain Likely across Midwest through Wednesday

A threat for very heavy rain has developed for areas across the Midwest.  To see the totals the experts are calling for look at this map:

We are expected to get nearly 2.5 inches of rain here in Northern Illinois.  The most rain will be in Southeast Wisconsin, where the expected high amount is nearly 3 inches.  Wow.  The GFS has backed off a little bit on the expected intensity, but still a lot of rain is expected.  Stay tuned.
