Wednesday will bring some scattered showers and minor thunderstorms to the region, but Friday is looking like the big day for rain across the entire area.

Rain will likely push in from the south by the late morning and continue throughout the majority of the day. There doesn't appear to be much of a break from the rain at this point in time. Models are projecting some substantial rain by the time it all wraps up. Many of us could receive between 1-2" on Friday alone.

Illinois has also broken its Tornado Warning record in 2026, with 280 warnings issued so far this year.

The old record was 256 in 1998, and we're still not done with the severe weather season here in the state.
