Severe weather prompts Tornado Warnings across Chicago area

CHICAGO - Thunderstorms rolled through Chicagoland Monday morning.

Some people on Chicago's North Side discovered rain inside their cars. Parked vehicles appeared to be flooded above the floorboard level.

Clogged sewer grates caused flooded streets and standing water in Albany Park, Uptown and Portage Park. Under the viaducts, water levels rose. At Wilson and Cicero, a water crew moved sewer covers to drain the water before anyone got into serious trouble.

Chicago's North Side hit with flooding after Monday downpours

Parts of Chicago's North Side were hit with flooding Monday after heavy rain showers.

The storms calmed down around 10 a.m. 

But, there is still a chance for another shower this afternoon but the rest of the day will be windy and unseasonably mild with highs in the mid-50s.  It will remain windy tonight under mostly cloudy skies.  

Tomorrow looks just fine for Election Day with highs well into the 40s if not tagging 50 degrees. Skies will be partly sunny.

Tomorrow night there is a chance for a brief rain shower especially northern half of our viewing area.  

Wednesday and Thursday look quiet with eyes then focusing on a major storm system traversing the country and being close to us on Friday. There’s a chance this could be a snow maker for some or all of our area and there’s an equal chance it’s a miss to our south. Plenty of time to sweat that one out.
