Chicago: A Rainy Sunday Only the Beginning of a Wet Week

A wet finish to the weekend is only the beginning of a prolonged stretch of rainy weather for the city.
Periods of rain will soak the city on Sunday as a slow-moving storm advances into the region. A gusty, easterly wind will keep AccuWeather RealFeel® temperatures in the 40s throughout the afternoon.
Chicago White Sox fans hoping to attend Sunday's home game versus the Rays could face rain delays or even a postponement due to the rain.

There will be little improvement in the weather heading into Monday and Tuesday with periods of rain each day. There could be some rumbles of thunder on Tuesday as well.
In total, nearly 2 inches of rain can pile up through Tuesday, which could result in some flooding, especially in low lying and poor drainage areas. If you encounter a water-covered roadway, turn around and find an alternate route.

The wide-reaching storm responsible for the wet weather will meander in the region through the end of the week but it will gradual weaken.
Nonetheless, plenty of clouds, showers and cool weather can be anticipated to linger in the area through Friday.
