After heavy rainfall led to shuttered roadways and flash flood warnings in the Chicago area on Friday, more precipitation this evening could lead to another round of flooding ahead of storms to start the weekend.
While some storms will start impacting the region this evening, rainfall is likely to intensify overnight. With humidity remaining at very high levels, any precipitation could quickly turn to torrential rainfall.
As significant storms have already impacted the region on Thursday and earlier Friday, a threat of flash flooding exists across northern Illinois and northwest Indiana.
From there, additional storms are likely to materialize Saturday afternoon, primarily impacting areas along and south of Interstate 80.
Although there’s only a marginal risk of severe weather, a few storms could reach severe levels alongside more potential flash flooding and damaging winds.
This system is most likely to impact the southern parts of the Chicago area between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. Saturday.
Periodic thunderstorms are likely to persist through the weekend before heat and humidity return to start next week, with highs climbing back into the 90s by Sunday.
