A Flood Watch is active until 7 p.m. on Saturday for areas including Central Cook, De Kalb, DuPage, Eastern Will, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, La Salle, Lee, Northern Cook, Northern Will, Ogle, Southern Cook, Southern Will, and Lake County, Indiana.

Overnight the National Weather Service removed Boone, Lake, McHenry and Winnebago from the Flood Watch.

Flash flooding is a concern in the south and southwest neighborhoods that saw about 3.6 inches of rain on Friday.

The heavy rain that could bring flash flood warnings could happen between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

On Friday, funnel clouds were reported in Illinois and there was a Flash Flood Warning for parts of the Chicago area Friday.

Some heavy pockets of rain are forecasted to make its way into the Chicago area on Saturday.

Thunderstorms caused ground stops on Friday afternoon at both Midway and O’Hare airports, resulting in delays of approximately 45 minutes at Midway and about 25 minutes at O’Hare.

On Friday morning, the National Weather Service released a special weather statement concerning funnel clouds, affecting areas from LaSalle County to southern Cook County and regions south of that line.

Funnel clouds rarely touch the ground and typically do not pose a hazard, Butler said. Some were spotted earlier Friday near Ottawa.

Trees and power lines were knocked down Thursday by strong winds.
