3 Inches of Weekend Rain Floods Elburn, Kane County
Thunderstorms brought torrential rain, flash flooding, hail and damaging winds to northern Illinois Friday afternoon and evening. Radar estimates and surface rainfall measurements indicate a swath of 3 inches to 8 inches of rain fell roughly along the I-80 corridor.
Heaviest rainfall amounts included: 8.03 at Channahon, 7.87 inches at Peotone, 7.61 inches at Seneca, 7.53 at Morris, and 7.52 inches at Valparaiso.
Weekend rain totals topped 3 inches right here in Kane County.
Elburn got hit hardest, with 3.08 inches reported for the 48-hour period ending at 7 a.m. Sunday.
Obviously, there will be more on top of that, because Sunday was plenty rainy in its own right.
Elburn led Kane County totals, with 3.08 inches of rain, followed by Geneva’s 2.91 inches.
A Flood Warning continues for the Fox River at Montgomery affecting Kane and Kendall counties.
