‘Wow’ Rain Totals Tuesday For Kane County Communities — More on The Way?
We might be getting more rain late this afternoon (Thursday, Aug. 9, 2018), and that could add to the fairly substantial totals some Kane County communities got hit with Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service Chicago, a cold front is expected to sag south to near the Illinois-Wisconsin state line by late this afternoon, producing scattered thunderstorms across far northern Illinois.
Some of these storms could produce strong winds and heavy rainfall. Precipitation chances will diminish with sunset and the front may pass through most of the area dry overnight.
Scattered thunderstorms will redevelop along the front Friday afternoon well south of I-80.
On Tuesday, Batavia led all of Kane County, with 1.63 inches of rain in a very short period of time. Geneva got 1.52 inches, Elgin 1.33, Elburn 1.20 and Lilly Lake 1.08.
Harwood Heights in Cook County recorded the most rain Tuesday, with 3.04 inches.
The full NWS Chicago list is below, with Kane County totals highlighted in red boldface.
