The weather in Chicago is bad. Hundreds of flights were canceled yesterday in Chicago and it may not be much better on Wednesday. Passengers should contact airlines before leaving for ORD or Midway airport. United Airlines eliminated cancellation and change fees until June 25.

Flash Flood Watch for portions of north central Illinois and northeast Illinois, including the following areas, in north-central Illinois, Boone, DeKalb, La Salle, Lee, Ogle, and
Winnebago. In northeast Illinois, Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Kane, Kendall, Lake IL, McHenry, and Will are in effect until Friday mid morning

Several rounds of heavy rain producing showers and thunderstorms will move into the area both this morning into the mid afternoon, then again overnight. These storms have the potential to produce localized flash flooding as many locations across these areas have received significant rainfall in the past week.
Rainfall amounts of 1 and a half inches up to 3 inches are expected, with localized areas up to 4 inches.
