The ongoing rain and storms pose risks of localized flooding, especially in areas south of Dixon, Illinois, to Valparaiso, Indiana, and southward to US-24. Commuters should prepare for wet conditions during the Thursday morning commute, with heavy showers potentially causing delays. The persistent rain may also lead to water accumulation in low-lying areas, impacting travel and outdoor activities.
