Buffalo Grove and Wheeling have some flooding with Wheeling Road blocked between Dundee Road and Hintz Road. Some flooding was also reported near the police station on Dundee Road. Other areas of flooding are also expected. Wheeling police have helped a few drivers who have become stranded in deep water.
Peak thunderstorm activity occurred in Arlington Heights at about 4:55 a.m. Severe lightning has accompanied heavy rain.
Flooded basements are being reported in the northwest suburbs and north suburbs.
Radar looks as though storms might be setting up for training along the Lake-Cook line. Storms continued to build with backgrowth toward western Kane County and storms moving toward the east. Another large area of storms already developed are heading toward Rockford. The backfill could meet up with the second group of storms and bring continuous rain for the next couple of hours.
