The Chicago area has been in a prolonged pattern of dry weather recently, but breathtaking amounts of rain have fallen this weekend, blowing past the combined precipitation of the last two months.
According to the National Weather Service, Chicago’s Midway Airport reported 2.94 inches of rain between 7-11 a.m. Sunday, with at least 1.6 inches of rain reported between 10 and 11 a.m.

Numbers are still being tabulated at O’Hare International Airport on Sunday, but officials say at least 2.26 inches of rain have fallen at the airport over the weekend.
