Active spring pattern across the center of our nation with several episodes of severe weather and heavy rainfall expected into next week. The potential for very large hail, long track tornadoes, severe wind gusts, frequent cloud to ground lightning strikes and flash flooding are in the outlook. Furthermore, dangerous early season heat wave continues for the Gulf Coast states into early next week. Read More >
Overview
|
During the afternoon and evening of July 4th, two waves of strong to severe thunderstorms rolled across the region. The first wave of storms moved across parts of La Salle, Grundy, Livingston, and Ford Counties during the mid afternoon, delivering sporadic damaging wind gusts and torrential rainfall. The second wave developed during the early evening hours across far southern Wisconsin before accelerating southeastward along the I-90 corridor. These storms brought additional areas of damaging winds and heavy rainfall to the area. Localized corridors of more significant wind damage occurred in Crystal Lake and Elgin. Another round of storms developed late in the afternoon of July 5th, impacting parts of northern and northwest Illinois. These storms produced wind damage primarily in far northern Illinois and also caused minor flooding along the I-90 corridor, where over 6" of rain fell in some locations over the course of two days.
