High winds, thunderstorms and isolated tornadoes will all be possible as the remnants of Tropical Storm Cristobal move their way through the Chicago area Tuesday.
Though the day started out partly sunny, warm and humid, with temperature highs in the 80s, conditions turned extremely windy and thunderstorms are developing across the area.
There is a chance isolated thunderstorms that bring damaging winds and torrential rains could produce a tornado. Some forecast models are calling for wind gusts in excess of 60 miles per hour.
A severe thunderstorm warning is in effect for McHenry and Lake counties in northeastern Illinois until 4:15 p.m.
The storms are located on a line from Rolling Meadows to Northbrook, moving north at a brisk 60 miles per hour.
Wind gusts of up to 60 mph are possible with the storms, according to the National Weather Service.
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for northeastern Cook County until 3:30 p.m. Tuesday and another warning was in effect in northeastern DuPage and northern Cook County until 3:45 p.m. A storm producing 60-mph wind gusts was moving north from Alsip at 55 mph, according to the National Weather Service.
The earlier warning in Cook County has expired, and the warning in DuPage County was canceled.
Most of the Chicago area is currently under a “slight” risk of severe weather, according to the National Weather Service, with the northern-tier counties under a “marginal” risk for strong-to-severe storms.
According to the latest forecast models, the heaviest rain will likely fall in the northern suburbs, with areas like Waukegan and Rockford potentially seeing an inch or more of rain during the afternoon and into the evening hours.
Even ahead of the storms, high winds are expected during the early afternoon, with gusts of up to 40-45 mph through much of the day. Loose objects could be blown around by the strong winds, and tree damage and power outages are possible.
Travel in high-profile vehicles could be hazardous, especially on east-to-west roadways.
A Wind Advisory is in effect for several Chicago-area counties from noon to 10 p.m. CST. That includes Lake, Kane, DuPage, LaSalle, Kendall, Grundy, Kankakee, Cook and Will counties in Illinois and Lake, Porter, Newton and Jasper counties in Indiana.
The rain and storms are expected to taper overnight, but showers and isolated storms could return once more Wednesday afternoon and evening.
A cooldown is also expected behind the storm, with highs in the upper-70s and low-80s on Wednesday.
