Flood Warning for Spoon River at London Mills Until Tuesday Morning
Rainfall that began on Friday and finally ended Sunday night left behind several inches in the area and prompted flood warnings and watches.

Two local weather reporting stations, one in Galesburg and the other in Abingdon, measured rain amounts between 4.11 and 4.56 inches. Totals vary, and some individual measurements recorded over 5 inches of rain locally.

The National Weather Service on Sunday issued a Flood Warning for Knox and Fulton counties until late in the afternoon, while a Flash Flood Watch remained in effect until 7:00 Sunday night. In addition, the heavy rain prompted a Flood Warning for the Spoon River at London Mills, affecting both Knox and Fulton counties, until Tuesday morning.

The two local weather stations report the monthly rainfall total is, so far, over 7 inches: 7.81 at the Galesburg station and 7.28 at the one in Abingdon.
