Another flash flood warning for parts of Cook County and Lake County in Indiana was issued, with this one being in effect until 3 p.m.

Sunday morning starts off a bit on the cooler side as well, with temperatures in the low 60s and without much room to get warmer, with highs expected to be in the mid-to-upper 60s for much of the area.

Despite the widespread downpour to start the day, rainfall is expected to dissipate by the afternoon, with even a chance of sunshine peaking through in the late afternoon to early evening hours.

From there, temperatures are expected to drop into the mid 50s by the overnight hours, with a mostly cloudy but likely dry night on the way.

Monday highs are likely to be in the low 70s, beginning a gradual stretch of warming temperatures throughout next week that could end with 80-degree highs on Thursday and Friday.
