The CTA said Yellow Line Service between Evanston and Skokie was suspended at about 8 a.m. because of flooding. Trains began operating again at about 10 a.m., but with residual delays.

Shuttle buses and #97/Skokie buses provided alternate service while trains were halted.

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch through 3 p.m. Friday, on the heels of several rounds of rain since early Thursday morning.
