Flash Flood Warning
Statement as of 11:38 PM CDT on May 20, 2013
... A Flash Flood Warning remains in effect until 230 am CDT for Northwestern Lake and eastern Cook counties...
At 1130 PM CDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms with heavy rainfall continuing across the Chicago area with more storms continuing to track over the city through early overnight. Rainfall amounts of one to one and a half inches have been observed or estimated in an hour or less across parts of the city thus far.
Runoff from this excessive rainfall will cause flash flooding to occur in Chicago and nearby highly urbanized suburbs... particularly in the typical flood prone areas.
Be especially cautious at night when it is more difficult to see water on the Road or judge how deep it is.
If you experience flooding... report it to your local law enforcement.
