Chicago faced a stormy weekend with severe weather threats, including hail and gusty winds, according to forecasts.

The Chicago area could be in for multiple rounds of severe weather in coming days, with heavy rain, gusty winds and even tornadoes possible.

A tornado watch was still in effect until 11 p.m. Friday for Cook County and northern Illinois, but the severe weather mainly stayed northwest of the Chicago area thanks to a line of cool, dense air that broke the storms up.

More than a month's worth of rain fell on Chicago in 90 minutes on Tuesday evening, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). "There were numerous reports of flooded viaducts, several reports of water rescues, and a few reports of flooded basements," the NWS said.

More severe weather could hit the Chicago area on Friday after a round of storms moved through on Thursday. Pockets of heavy rain and storms continued to linger in the area on Friday morning. ABC7 Chicago is now streaming 24/7.
