The weekend calls for an enhanced risk of severe storms overnight
Friday and into Saturday that may produce damaging winds and torrential
rainfall. The three-day forecast shows a total of two to three inches of rain
across Lake County and southeast Wisconsin over the upper Des Plaines and Fox
River watersheds.
As a result, there is a significant threat of localized
flooding/flash flooding, and the potential for increased river levels. The Des
Plaines River, Fox River and Chain O'Lakes are projected to be impacted by
these storms. View Flood Safety Tips
High winds may cause tree limbs to fall and damage power
lines, increasing the chance of power outages. Please report any outages
to ComEd at ComEd.com/Report or
by calling 1-800-334-7661.
