- Emergency managers said cresting is expected in Gurnee around 7 a.m. Sunday, with Lincolnshire likely 10 to 12 hours later.
- Crews kept pumps running in flood‑prone zones and offered sandbags to residents preparing for rising water.
- Police closed parts of Grand Avenue in Gurnee and shut Londonderry Lane in Lincolnshire because water covered the roadway.
