Tornado warning and flooding threat

Central Cook is under a tornado warning -- radar indicated a tornado near Maywood and Westchester moving east near/along the Eisenhower. This is unlikely to be a strong tornado but that will not prevent damage or injury. Take notice in the area and pay attention in areas to the east.

Most of the area is under a flash flood warning. After many places saw heavy rain earlier today, a new round of moderate to heavy rain is moving through. The earlier projections look light, if anything. Many places could see 2-4" of rain today, which comes on saturated soils.

The good news is that the rain should clear toward midnight and tomorrow looks dry and beautiful. But there will likely be significant water problems tonight for some spots.
