O'Hare issued a ground stop due to severe weather Friday morning. More strong storms are expected to hit the Chicago area around 8 p.m. to midnight, the National Weather Service said.

A Chicago flash flood warning went out Tuesday night as the city experienced some of its heaviest rain since 2023. More than 4 inches fell in less than 90 minutes on the West Side.

In parts of Chicago, flash flood alerts rang Tuesday, warning of dangerous conditions as cars were stranded and submerged on highways and water rescues were conducted, but how much rain actually fell across the region and how fast did it all happen?

The opener of a four-game series between the Cleveland Guardians and Chicago White Sox has been postponed because of rain.

Severe thunderstorm warnings popped off in the greater Chicago area through the evening Thursday, forcing the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from the Windy City Smokeout.

Weather in the area delayed the start of Sunday's game between the Cubs and Cardinals, which was scheduled to begin an hour late, at 6:10 p.m.

Along with the chance for storms, there will be HEAT in the forecast Friday with highs in the low to mid 90s. High temperatures will be in the upper 80s this weekend with the better chance for storms on Saturday.
