Significant Threat of Localized Flooding/Flash Flooding

Severe storms moving into the area may produce damaging winds and torrential rainfall, dropping two to three inches of rain. As a result, there is a significant threat of localized flooding, flash flooding and increased water levels in the Middle Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River.
