There is very heavy rain in narrow lines in the area Friday.

The weather continues to be humid; although, temperatures have dropped, ABC7 Chicago meteorologist Tracy Butler said.

That means showers and heavy downpours and storms are possible anywhere at any time.

The National Weather Service issued a special weather statement for funnel clouds 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.

There are ground stops at both Midway and O’Hare airports Friday afternoon due to thunderstorms.

Midway has delays of over 30 minutes.

There has been severe weather throughout the week.

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