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.

Severe storms continue in Chicago on Friday, and there is a risk of flash floods. Following a few heavy downpours Friday morning, hot, humid weather will continue much of the day.

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