CHICAGO - As heavy rain and ice sweeps through the Chicago area on Wednesday, ComEd is reporting more than 100,000 customers have been affected by power outages.
An ice warning was issued for Winnebago, Boone and McHenry counties until 6 a.m. Thursday, but the National Weather Service said there could be ice accumulation in other areas north of Interstate 88 and along Interstate 90. Up to half an inch of ice may accumulate.
"Tree damage and power outages are possible," the weather service said. "The ice accumulation may also cause slick roads, with bridges and overpasses most susceptible."
