How Much Rain Fell in the Deerfield Area in the Last 3 Days?

By Dennis Robaugh

How much rain has fallen in the last three days? The National Weather Service observers recorded the following rainfall totals at various locations around the Chicago area, including in Bannockburn and Riverwoods.

But the rain is pulling away until Sunday, says the NWS Chicago office: The pesky, slow moving low pressure system that has brought clouds and rain to the area over the past few days will continue to pull away to the east today. Highs in the low to mid-60s. Partly sunny and breezy conditions are expected Friday, with a cold front passing Friday evening which will bring cooler 50s for the weekend. The next chance of measurable rain looks to come Sunday night into Monday.
