Your evening Illinois weather update
We're tracking 26 weather alerts across Illinois today, with dangerous conditions developing along Lake Michigan beaches. Those 3 to 6 foot waves are creating life-threatening currents from Chicago down through Northwest Indiana. Multiple flood warnings remain active across central portions of the state where recent heavy rains have pushed rivers and streams beyond their banks.
