Hopefully they&#8217;ll tune into the National Weather Service and get those official watches and warnings and understand when in the forecast this week, do I need to be paying attention? Because there&#8217;s a likelihood for severe weather, and then know what to do if the watches and warnings are actually issued.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The city&#8217;s public works department is providing sandbags to anyone who wants them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">After losing a lot of personal items in the last big flood a few years ago, Des Plaines resident Ariana Gomez is keeping her eyes on the skies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">&#8220;Like any person whose apartment usually floods, they&#8217;re always concerned,&#8221; Gomez said. &#8220;We always tend to check in the laundry room because that&#8217;s where it usually, but everything&#8217;s been good there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"vPZug ZqdKL xcLAU bunQU uhXXI PjNjV lNbol LBPRq\"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/chicago---cook-county-live-weather-radar\/\">Cook County Radar<\/a>  <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/dupage-county-live-weather-radar\/\">DuPage County Radar<\/a>  <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/will-county-live-weather-radar\/\">Will County Radar<\/a>  <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/lake-county-weather-radar-live\/\">Lake County Radar (IL)<\/a>  <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/kane-county-weather-radar-live\/\">Kane County Radar<\/a>  <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/weather\/doppler\/northwest-indiana-weather-radar-live\/\">Northwest Indiana Radar<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><br class=\"\"\/><\/div>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2026 WLS-TV.
