The Chicago area may be in for a rough ride weather-wise the next two days with the possibility of severe thunderstorm, heavy rainfall and possible flooding.
With temperatures in the 40s the Chicago area and much of extreme northern Illinois is getting rain this evening and a lot of it.
Farther south, close to a strong warm front, thunderstorms continue to rumble posing a significant threat of severe weather.
For updates on rainfalls and radar log on to Chicago Weather Center.
After wreaking havoc on the morning commute, closing schools and prompting scattered evacuations, the massive storm that dumped upwards of a half-foot of rain on parts of the Chicago area overnight is expected to continue throughout the day, with flooding the big concern.
