Hydrologic Outlook issued January 28 at 3:36AM CST by NWS Chicago IL

ESFLOT Significant ice coverage exists on area rivers. While unseasonably mild temperatures this week will facilitate some melting and breaking up of the ice, significant amounts of ice will likely remain in many rivers late this week. A storm system is likely to bring rainfall to the region late Thursday into Friday. There is still a great deal of uncertainty in how much rain will fall, but current indications are that many areas will see at least a quarter to half inch of rain. Depending on the track and strength of the storm system, some areas could see heavier rainfall
