Cook County is under a flash flood warning until 3 p.m. Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.
The warning went into effect at 11:54 a.m., when a Doppler radar detected thunderstorms across southeastern Cook County and central Will County. At that time, as much as 2.5 inches of rain already had fallen and another 1 to 2 inches had been forecast, according to the weather service website.Oak Forest, Frankfort, Dolton, Chicago Heights, Tinley Park and Homewood were among the municipalities under the flash flood warning, according to forecasters.
“I think the key message would be if you happen to see any flooding on roadways, turn around and don’t drive through it,” said Jake Petr, a meteorologist with the weather service’s Romeoville office. Rainfall was moving east across northern and northwestern Illinois during the afternoon, with the possibility of some lightning strikes.
Steady, and at times very heavy rain, continues to slowly move eastward across N IL and far NW IN this late AM. This will continue into early PM before becoming more scattered. Minor flooding of some roadways is expected. A few lightning strikes are also possible.
