The Flood Watch affects areas already impacted by severe weather, increasing the risk of flash flooding in low-lying and urban areas. Residents in DeKalb, Will, Grundy, and surrounding counties should remain vigilant, as additional rainfall could lead to hazardous conditions. Power outages and infrastructure damage from earlier storms may complicate recovery efforts. Travelers should also be aware of potential delays, as a Ground Stop at O'Hare airport was recently lifted.
