The heavy rain that could bring flash flood warnings could happen between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.

On Friday, funnel clouds were reported in Illinois and there was a Flash Flood Warning for parts of the Chicago area Friday.

Some heavy pockets of rain are forecasted to make its way into the Chicago area on Saturday.

There were ground stops at both Midway and O’Hare airports Friday afternoon due to thunderstorms. Midway had delays of about 45 minutes and O’Hare had delays of about 25 minutes.

The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for funnel clouds Friday morning from LaSalle County through southern Cook County and south of that line.

Funnel clouds rarely touch the ground and typically do not pose a hazard, Butler said. Some were spotted earlier Friday near Ottawa.

Trees and power lines were knocked down Thursday by strong winds.
