Chicago First Alert Weather: Rain for Friday morning commute

A few downpours will be possible, but no severe weather or flooding is expected, according to CBS 2 Chief Meteorologist Albert Ramon.

Rainfall amounts will range from 0.50" to 0.75", with higher amounts possible south of I-80.
Saturday will be cloudy with highs in the low to mid 40s. A sprinkle or light shower is possible. Rain chances increase Saturday night and will be high for Sunday morning. Highs on Sunday will be in the low 40s.
