There is very heavy rain in narrow lines in the area Friday.

Some streets are flooding on Chicago’s Southwest Side.

The weather continues to be humid; although, temperatures have dropped, ABC7 Chicago meteorologist Tracy Butler said.

That means showers and heavy downpours and storms are possible anywhere at any time.

The National Weather Service has released a special weather alert regarding funnel clouds spanning from LaSalle County through southern Cook County and extending to areas further south.

Funnel clouds rarely touch the ground and typically do not pose a hazard, Butler said.

Some were spotted earlier Friday near Ottawa.

There are ground stops at both Midway and O’Hare airports Friday afternoon due to thunderstorms.

Midway has delays of nearly an hour.

Video from 58th Street and Harlem Avenue nearby showed a man trying to walk in deep water.

On inbound Interstate 55 near First Avenue, there is also high water.

And some viaducts in the city are flooding. One appeared flooded at Drake Avenue, off of 47th Street and Archer Avenue.

There has been severe weather throughout the week.

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

VELYKA NOVOSILKA, DONBAS, UKRAINE - MARCH 7: Ukrainian servicemen of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army patrol around the town of Velyka Novosilka, Ukraine March 7, 2023. The frontline around the city of Vuhledar, a strategic rail and road hub south of Bakhmut, resembles an apocalyptic scenario. Destroyed buildings and burned cars are scattered at both sides of the road. There, hidden on basements of abandoned houses, the Ukrainian Volunteer Army hold their positions against relentless attacks by Russian forces. Under the threat of the enemyâs artillery, that echoes through the village, soldiers hold their fortified positions in shifts of 12h. In recent days, they said, they have been able to repel several Russian offensives. (Photo by Ignacio Marin Fernandez/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
