A Flood Advisory has been issued for Cook, DuPage, and northern Will Counties through 11 PM. Showers in this region have been producing rain rates of about a half inch per hour, which is resulting in ponding on area roadways and low-lying areas.
Rain will end tonight as a cold front swings through. Temperatures will likely go in the books in the upper 50s at midnight before falling into the mid 40s during the day on Friday.
Another storm system will move in this weekend, bringing rain and snow to the area on Saturday. Temperatures will likely top out in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees on Saturday before falling to around 30 degrees by kickoff for the Bears vs. Packers game. Scattered snow will remain possible in the evening and at night, with temperatures falling into the mid 20s by the final quarter. Fans should be prepared for wind chills in the teens!
