May 30, 2018: Heavy Rain Event Partially from Alberto's Remnants Lock a Wettest May for Chicago

Overview

Fast Facts:

The remnants of Subtropical Storm Alberto were the primary impetus to heavy showers and embedded storms on Wednesday, May 30.

Atmospheric moisture was high, near or at record levels for late May, setting the stage for periods of heavy rain and isolated totals of 2-5", especially over DuPage and northwestern Cook County.

Some of the showers were extremely slow moving in the late afternoon and early evening, overlapping the evening commute time.

The heaviest hit communities with rainfall and some flooding impacts were Addison, Barrington, Hoffman Estates, Elmhurst, and Villa Park.

The 0.90" of rain at Chicago O'Hare pushed their total to 8.21" for the month, setting a record for the wettest May.
